The black wheels give the car a more aggressive "I am a racer" look, where the chrome is a more classy, "mine is a daily driver" look. Neither is bad, but I prefer the chrome.

OP, thank you for posting. I always appreciate the side-by-side comparisons.

I was given this car to use for a couple of days and loved that color combo ever since.

I'm somewhat familiar with this red and black combination.... This is the way mine was ordered and built.

Thanks Allen, now I can definitely say "NO" on the black vents, I could see dark fender hashes perhaps... But I may try dipping the spoiler in my free time, I do like the contrast there. Again, thanks for your help!
