Very brave. I had the opportunity to do this, and although I thought about it hard, I chickened out.

I would have done it slightly different though, with a much thinner red band, possibly just the front part of the lip, leaving the rest black.

Different, interesting I think I like, maybe not quite so contrasting colours maybe a gunmetal and dark candy apple red?

Deffo different  :-) :-) :-)
I am not offended by them, think I would gone with something closer to JudoK's suggestion. A whole ring of colour would be easier on the eye I think.

They are not my wheels though, so good on you for trying something different.  :-) :-) :-)

If you'd made the red part black and the rest silver/red/blue/whatever then you'd make the tyres look very low profile. It would make the spokes look like they go right out to the tyre.

I like. Something a bit Batmobile in a cool way. I am thinking that you may need a splash of colour on the vents to balance the effect and smooth it into the car, maybe black instead of silver?

It was something I was thinking about.. I was contemplating carbon wrapping them to be honest
