hmmm.. I'd say either silver or flat black with a red pinstripe around the lip.

(and your car looks Roma Red)

it's called milano red. it's a three stage paint, which is very difficult to match. i'd just go with and oem silver and gloss finish or a polished finish, anything else would look cheap looking on an oem wheel like blades.

ej6, are you sure that's milano red? It looks a little dark... I always thought milano red was brighter than that... but maybe it's just something with that picture.

and if it weren't a red car, I'd agree with civicex lol... pink wheels on a black car ftw lol

but silver will definitely look good.

positive, the paint's in horrible condition, but i'm pretty sure it's milano, my car is milano red, and the shade of the color changes drastically from camera to camera, that's why i bought a pretty expensive p&s camera for correct color calibration.
