Here is a pic of my stang. Just thinking about some different ideas of wheel colors. Would it look ricer if i had the inside spokes of my FR500 wheels painted the same color of my car and left the aluminum dish?

Im not a big fan of color coded wheels. It might work on white or black cars.

I'd say it looks great as it is. Red and Black make a great combo.

I think red wheels would look ricer... hell, borderline ghetto. Would completely hide your painted calipers as well.

Honestly, I think a small amount of color coordination can look good, but it can get real over the top. I have the same wheels on my torch red and honestly black looks amazing on red and on a mustang chrome just looks too much. I'd just say either keep your rims or buy some different ones.

I would have never thought a color matched wheel would look good on our cars, but today i seen this Mach that looked pretty bad ass. Not sure how it would look on youre car but this one is sick IMO.

im sorry but that looks like dog ****!



I know white wheels do look pretty good on blue cars or black cars. But it really depends on the wheel. I thought about doing white Cobra R's on my stang...that woulda looked pretty sweet.

but black wheels on anything just looks like crapola.

I disagree about your dislike in black wheels sir. Be more open minded to different looks and styles and quit saying chrome is the only way to go. I understand it's your opinion but the way you try to pursue getting it across is annoying.


OP, I think your current wheel choice looks good. I'm not sure I would paint them like others have said, however if I was you I would order some original center caps to replace the ones that came with your replicas. I think they would look much better after you do that.

I like the way that Mach looks. Pretty sweet if you asked me. I think it's mostly the stance that makes it look good though. If the sat a little bit higher I am not sure if the wheels would look as good.

I think that only certain stangs can really pull off chrome. I think its too flashy. but iam also one of those guys who likes the sleeper look too.

I personally really like that blue Mach1...

OP : I'm not sure how those rims would look with red accents, I don't like alot of color coded rims but some cars can pull it off...

And you can't tell me that this car doesn't look like the best car in the world!!!!! (don't know who's it is, but I could only aspire to have mine look this good)

p.s. if someone has other pics of this car I'd sure like to see them

sorry you don't like my opinion, but i dont think chrome is the only way to go.

black chrome is good, silver is good, satin is good, white is good with the right color, but i have never seen any car of any make and model that looked good with black wheels...they look like dog ****. end story.
