I don't think the red will look good for 2 reasons... 1) too much red... and 2) they won't match your car's color. The red wheels may look good on a contrasting colored car, but I don't think they would look good on a red one.

Yeah that's true, they would have much more shine to them.
I think I'll go with the black ones-they would match my top.

I personally like the black or silver. I wouldn't do the red for exactly the reason mentioned above.

Where did you get those wheels Harley???
I love them. What size are they???

Spike you should go with the black just to contrast the red, on my car I am going to paint her red and do the AFS wheels in the red chrome just for the sake of contrast they are very nice.

Default GS wheels....

The black GS wheels will look ECXELLENT on your red roadster!!
If you want the 11" rears, you'll need to add the GS fender flares.
They're in one of the major catalogs, Ecklers or Mid America??
Cost around $150 ea.
