I think it'd look fantastic just as long as the reds are the same shade.

Probably okay. Swap back in the stock fuel door though.

The red looks more like torch, maybe I should move on to another idea.

My current wheels are F'd. Gotta love american racing, and then make it so difficult with the warranty that you just give up. The finish does not last on AR wheels. Just remember that people. Even though they are shelby redlines, they are still made by AR

That sucks. I had bad luck w/ AR in the past too. What about sanding them down and refinishing them black? Then you could put a redfire stripe on them. Read up on it, it's easier than it sounds. That would be my next bet before I dumped a bunch more money on wheels.

I have the same problem with my chrome razors... The chrome started to bubble before the 1 year warrenty. I drove up to one of there "headquarters" or whatever and they said they would replace them. Well it's been a year later and there still on my car. They won't do **** besides ignore me now.

I think those wheels would look really good if you can make the reds match and get a black fuel door, as others suggested.

Two tone powder coat your current wheels. Black center with red lip. Or black center polished lip. I think darker than the photoshop above. Almost satin or flat black.

I've seen the Redlines in black. And, not a fan. I am normally not a black wheel person. I just liked those wheels. I like the Anthracite and dark grey wheels. Chrome, depends on the wheels.

Match reds on the rims you posted above, it would look awesome.
