Default Red Wheel bands

All,

I am considering red wheels bands on my AW vert that currently has NO red on it other than tail lights. What do you all think?

IMO the the machined faced wheels on your C7 are enough being two tone. Adding red as a third color is just too much. But you should consider making the side mirrors match your Z51 spoiler.

I would say no, perhaps if you had red interior but in this case afraid not. I would not do it.

I think it would take the classy look of the car away. I personally would not do it. You have a great looking car already.

Oh I forgot. If anything, you might try smoking the rear taillights with some plasti dip and see how you like that. Maybe that will get rid of the red that you are referring too. If you don't like it, just peel it off and you are back to normal.

I understand you'd like a little protection for your rims... Maybe these - https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...e-99-99-a.html

Black, or white if you want some contrast. May be a little protection once you get the curb rash repaired.
