Default Red Mist with Midnight Gray - Red Stripe Wheels

I am ordering my C8 in Red Mist and love the Midnight Gray wheels. I am concerned the red on the wheel will look strange next to the Red Mist body color. Does anyone have an example of this? I can't find any pictures online of this combination.

Thanks

No pics, but I would think the red stripe on the wheels is going to be a different shade of red than the red mist.

It's not big enough of an item to worry about. I'd be more concerned about the colors of my clothing clashing!

What about a friend of mine? He has the Red Mist color and an Adrenaline Red dipped interior. Here the slight red mismatch is much more universal. I'm definitely impressed but I think this is just too much. I have yet to pick a color for my C8 on order, but I'm not brave enough for this red on red.

IMO, the gray wheels look great, almost gunmetal color. Better or different than many of the black wheels ordered.
The red-stripe adds a classy look. Hopefully you don't like yellow brake calipers!!
It comes down to what you like, your gut feelings. Best wishes to all.

I can show them to you on a red car. I would think they would still look great on a red mist. The stripe is not quiet as red as the car.

MFG Grand Sport, I like them better than full black wheels. More classy, less mean looking. Very nice!

I have the Edge Red calipers on Red Mist ‘22 HTC and they look great. I think the red on those wheels looks very similar to the calipers.
