Black and red does work together but it would have been better if you left the rim of the wheel unpainted. The shiny rim/lips with back face/spokes would have kept the wheel from totally fading out. Now it looks like an empty space in the wheel wells. If you like it that's all that matters.

Agreed!..... I don't personally care for ANY all Black wheel. Not my style, but if it looks good to you then DO IT!!!

I kind of see where you are going with it.....however, I would have went with a black wheel with polished lips.....sort of like this:

What I will say is this: with that look, you need some real power to back it up. You know, the "shut and watch out" kind of power. Think CLS 65 or better.

What is next?

IMO, If you painted the calipers red, it would look even better. "Looks" like you are ready to do some drifting.

I too, perfer a polished lip on black wheels. But my next wheels will reflect that.

I've got LS400 brakes on the way so they should look a little better behind the wheels.

Thanks for the comments!

Agreed, also like what others said maybe some painted calipers would do the trick or if you have the extra $$$ and the rims where a polished set you could of had them powercoated a translucent black chrome.. that would look damn sexy especially with a polished lip. But it still looks dope good job.

Nice idea , but just doesn't seem to work for me, but if you had the polished lip it'll be awesome. Still nice and clean tho'.
