Red is a nice color, nothing wrong with it on the right car with the right setup.

Good or bad all comments are welcomed
It's really not doing it for me. Maybe there isn't enough red. Have you considered red mirrors and a red stripe or hood and trunk or something?

I think you are right. There needs to be red in other areas of the car, because I think the wheels by themselves take something away from the rest of the car.

If I had a wing, maybe the canards and some other things it would look like a race car and then I could pull it off properly but in this case I think the whites without any mods are still the best.

I think aggressive offsets are a must to pull off red wheels

Red can look good but only when they're fresh, like the pictures posted in this thread. Once the car/wheels get dirty, you will wish you didn't paint your wheels..

I think it looks great.

I think it would look awsome if you painted the inner half of the wheels black.. so it would be cleaner and have an offset to the color.

Pull the center caps and post up the pics. I think it will get a better reaction. Like someone else said, a drop and a lip will go along way for that look as well.

I will be taking off the white H's. You are about the 100th person that said the white H's don't look right. I'm thining Red H on Black or Black H on Red Cap.

Red cap or no cap at all. No "H" need apply here...
