The wheels will look terribly out of place. silver wheels do not look out of place on a red car. just look at any red ferrari. ![http://www.imagerentacar.com/images/vehicles/ferrari/ferrari-f430-1%20(1).jpg](http://www.imagerentacar.com/images/vehicles/ferrari/ferrari-f430-1%20(1).jpg) ---

You make a good point but you also have to remember that a Ferrari would still look good sitting on 4 cinder blocks. The beauty of a Ferrari isn’t made or even accented by its wheels. It’s in the shape. This thread is about a Cavalier. ---

black with a red lip… even if you paint the car black the red lip would look fine… there is a black BMW on here with red lipped rims and they look good. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/getting-some-wheels-coated-polish-the-lip/45224.md?page=1)
