It will look like crap.

You can not find ANY red that matches the VR Red made with silica.

They'd look so-so on a black car, but definitely not red. Red on wheels such as time attack colors etc and then slapping them on a red car is ftl.

No he is serious. He asked me about them and I said HA! God awful!! The red is too dark. I'd go for a darker stock look or a dark 5 spoke with no color. Maybe a red lip on black/gunmetal.

frankly they look very cheap and unstylish. I would suggest powdercoating the stock ones a nice gloss black first.

and as for powdercoating the stock rims, im probably gonna do the same.

Not on a VR, man, too dark. If you can find a brighter red, then go for it. Afterall, it is your car.

if the red matched it wouldnt be half bad. even if it looked bad you could pull those red peices off and just have a black rim.

Yea the red is too dark. Maybe you could get these and then paint the 'V' inserts the same VR color? I like the rim otherwise.

I think maybe you could go with the rims nvrfalter has with the red lip if you wanted something like that. Personally I think a dark/black rim would be beautiful on your car. But, to each his own. In the end you gotta do what you want buddy.

+1 ^ I agree with powder coating the the wheels too.

Let's face it, they will look better, cost you less money, easier to clean (yes that is important).
Although I would go with a dull charcoal Matt black myself. This would look sick!

Or... "Roman Gold" powder coat, like I did on my VR.

Listen to your friends, I was going to get white wheels... boy what a STUPID idea that would have been.
So listen to your friends
