Got my new rims installed this morning, they really change the look from the original stock alloys. I like it! I will keep it this way until I finally get my body kit, and then go to more or a performance rim/tire combo.... Here are some pics

I think stock rims in black look great on a red spyder, but hey its your car

I'm with 1D0... that's a lot of red. I do like the shape of the wheel though...

When it comes to wheels a contrast in color always looks better. Sometimes black wheels on a black car works.

To much red for me. They would probably look better with a drop though.

If that was red lip, it may have pulled it pretty good.

Thank for the comments...

Actually, I really do appreciate all the comments, good OR bad, because it shows the variety of people's opinions, and that all different folks like different things.

I should have said that my favorite color in the world is red, and it's a color that makes me happy. As far as the stock rims, I had them shined up really nice when the dealer took them off, and I carefully wrapped them and stored them in the boxes that these new red ones came in.

Also, I ordered some really hot looking red leather seats which came this week, but I need a professional installer to put them in for me.

The whole point is that I'm just having fun, because that's what it's all about. For those of you who are really into keeping the vehicles stock, then you are really going to hate my Christmas plans. I'm buying a body kit from www.luxurypart.com, along with other trim and another set of rims that, when combined with a turbo charger and a new dual exhaust system, will totally transform the car from head to toe into nothing like it looks now.

I guess my point is that I appreciate and admire the differences in people's vehicles, as well as the stock vehicles. It's all fun, and life's too darn short.

Anyway, I'm in my red phase right now. And for the commenter who mentioned the black rims, yes they had these in black too and I came SO close to getting black, but right now I'm in a "red mood" lol.

Have a great night, guys,

Mike
Mister "Red" lol

Yes, I agree, but I LOVE red It's my favorite color . Plus this is only temporary. Huge body kit coming soon

Thanks, I like the shape too. I know that color is a very personal thing. But I did keep the stock rims, in pristine condition, carefully packed away

Yes, I bet the stock rims in black would be awesome! Love that idea. Since I kept my rims I could always have them refinished. What do you think, a gloss wet-looking black or a deep powdery black?

A drop? (total ignorant noob here lol)

Yes, I can see how that would look very unique. But for me, what caught my eye was that the red was broken up by the shiny chrome, and actually the color being separated from the black of the tire is what I personally liked. But again, this is only temporary - the rims are being changed when my body kit comes from Thailand at the end of the year

A clown car? Well, clown cars are HAPPY, right? LOL - but in truth, I respect your comment. Again, each of us has different tastes, and this is only temporary - but it IS fun, and I do love love LOVE red

Yes paint them black please eace:

THat's so funny, because they HAD these in black too - they came in a really hot looking super wet glossy looking black. But again I was drawn so quickly to the vibrant heat of red. I just love red

You are partially right - it's my way of developing my car's individuality - and at the end of the day, it needs to make you, the owner, happy
