I used mspaint to just draw a red circle around the rim. Looks kind of cool to me.. maybe do the same and see how you like it?

Nice looking car... This is the direction I was thinking of going with my PW clubbie as well. I think the red would be a pretty cool contrast. I was thinking about a a rally stripe and maybe the door handles. I do think the shade of red would matter with the PW as it is already sort of a "dirty" color and I think the red would have to be a similar shade. May not be too important on just the wheels however.

I think red would look awesome on the wheels.

What are you planning on doing with the belt line? Blacking it out too? I was thinking that with the red striped wheels that line might look awesome done in red.

I dont think it would look right. You have no red on the car. I think that white cars look really nice with white wheels. Second I would go with all black wheels. Last silver wheels.

Did you feel much better when went with lighter weight wheels?

I had the belt line black out but I rushed it and it didnt turn out perfect like I wanted so I pulled it off after a week.

White wheels look good on white cars but they would look odd on my Pepper White. I ended up going with the SP10's again this time in black. I changed tires too. I went from a 215/40/17 Nitto Neo Gen to a 215/45/17 Falken 452 and I love them.

I think the 18's look much better but I like the way my car drives and handles with the lighter 17's. The 215/45's give it a lot better ride. Did you ever get your HID's installed? I want to check out your aero kit too.

Anyway here are my new wheels and tires. I Plasti Dipped my scoop too. It warped and I'm getting a new one so I decided to black this one out to see how it looks. Pic suck because it was dark but you get the idea.
