Color Scheme Help

I have a white 2005 Mustang GT, with red interior. I also have 2 Roush racing stripes that are red. I plan on purchasing black wheels, but I think that if I have white, black, and red it will be too many colors. What is everyone's input? Also should I get rid of the stripes, do something like the Steeda cowl hood (black center part), but not the hood mayb a black decal? or something, if I did that I would also black out my break lights. I would like everyone's opinion please! Anything that yall think would look good with my Below is a picture of my car.

I could agree that black wheels would be a bit too much. Chrome or polished aluminum would look nice, maybe? :-)

Any pictures of your car? Would be nice to see what it looks like.

Yeah I want the stripes wider, they're too skinny. Who makes the redline tires? Any chrome wheels I should look at in particular?

I agree...."Wider Stripes' or a single extra wide stripe that is flanked by red pinstripe style stripes on each side of the wide one. And as far as the wheels: polished or chrome is the only way to go.

Nice wheels, but they do me no good only coming in either 17" or 20". I'm looking for an 18" personally.

I have blue stripes w/ my red interior & went with the grey 18" Torq-Thrusts. I like the look , but I'm seeing that chrome/polished wheels really set off a white car.

Here are some pics of my 06 GT vert. My wheels are are 18x8.5 MB Vapors from Discount Tire. They were only about $1250 including 235/50/18 BFG KDWS tires. I am happy with the looks of the wheels and performance of the tires except that they are VERY heavy.
