Not my taste but not too bad. I've seen way worse. Be hard to clean.

I don't get the yuk pucker looking at them.

I think with the sexy red vette you would end up wanting some contrast in the wheel wells. Might be too much red. Know what i mean. If the centers were carbon fiber with thin red pinstripe around the barrel and the spokes weren't so big and blocky,,, that would be hawt!

Here. Like Andy's old Vette



Having said all that James. If you really dig them, you gotta get 'em!

They're too busy for my taste. There's too much going on that draws attention away from the car itself.

Call me crazy, but I kind of like them. What about just doing them in black hydrocarbon?
