The pic in the sun looks better, I'll reserve judgement until I can have a look in person.

Is dark candy appple red a metal flake paint like redfire was? It's seems to be kind of rosy in color almost. I need to see it in person to make an offical decision. As for the rims, They look great polished or one color but I don't like the grey. Maybe on alloy or white they will look better......Not a fan

-end of line-

I like them. The current fanblades are painted silver where these are painted charcoal.

By the way, we have seen these style wheels before. Looks like Ford one-upped the new Camaro !

Yes, the new Candy Apple red is metallic. I posted some pics of the paint samples under "candy Apple red".

I think it will look better in the sunlight. Those pics were taken on a overcast day.....

Way to go Ford. All of a sudden those rims are looking better.

The color was used on Focus for a few years as Sangria Red. The Redfire definitely looks better, has a much deeper look to it.

Dosn't look like any candy apple red I've seen! Real candy apple will look just like a kandied apple that you would get at a fair....

I saw it in person today, right next to torch red and redfire. Yes, of course it has metallic in it. Don't know what I was thinking there.

To me, it looks just like redfire, but a few shades more red. Nothing too exciting if you ask me. It was sunny, and it still didn't "pop".
