Default wheel color

Wouls it be strange to put a red wheel with my red hatch? What do you think it would look like? All comments appreciated

I think a red lip would look better, regardless of wheel color (except red). Then again, I'm not a big fan of color-matching the entire wheel to the body color. Too much of one color just doesn't look right to me - kinda like a black car with solid black wheels - too much black!

^ +1.

The colours look like two different shades of red as well. I would imagine it might look odd. Red lip might be cool though!

wow, beautiful hatch man. and i'm not a huge fan of that myself. something you should do that you won't regret. is black rims...get black rims and if you want some red, get them with a red lip. that sounds great to me on a hatch like that.

I have seen red GT3s with a silver lip on a red car and I think it looks fine... nice choice of wheel BTW, those look good on basically anything [8D]

I might look into that red lip type of wheel as well, but ive always wanted a set of O.Z. wheels on my car[8D]Its lowered on s-techs/skunk2 sport shocksas well so it should look good, what size wheel do you guys recommend I choosewith the s-techs? 15"?

go with 15s. You could buy them in black and then do the thin red "time attack" style stripe around the edge. Like this

hey yeah I like that red striparound the lip. I have seen a hatch where I am moving to in a week that was black, with the black wheels and red lip. It looked pretty nice, I think I could pull off that look too. Ill probally order these wheels then and I think im gonna run some falken ziex 205/55/r15 . Ive heard these tires are pretty nice and a good budget buy
