Black and bronze are the only 2 colors I think look good on a red car. If you keep the tire sidewalls clean and shiny, black looks really nice. If you don't, it looks weird unless you have the red lip. I like bronze/gold wheels, they look very nice on red cars.

If you post a large image of your car I'll do a photochop for you.

paint them black as long as they have a nice glossy finish at the end...remember to post pics if you do it!

Perfect as is! The only thing I would even think about changing is doing an 03+ rear end conversion. Tails & bumper.

I personally think the silver looks good, but it seemed like you had your mind set on painting your rims, and I just love rims with a glossy finish. Yea that drop is clean but I agree with yellowpatrol....although I think with a bumper conversion, you might also have to change the taillights...not sure though...

if you know how to make it look decent, I like black rims, but your rims look pretty nice as is. If you aren't totally confident it will turn out sweet, I wouldn't eff with it.
