Default Black Rims On Redline

I'm thinking that black rims, or black rims with a polished chrome lip, might look good with redline. If you have pics of a redline with black rims please post them or message me. Thanks.

Black rims just look like wheels missing hubcaps. If you're going to waste your money on black rims, at least get a polished lip.

Once again, a subjective comment stated as an objective one... to you they look like missing hubcaps... to me a polished lip looks stupid. Function over form for me...

All redlines look great regardless of the wheels. I just happen to like the Prodrive LeMans Ferrari color combination. Not that I would ever pretend that I'm driving a Ferrari.
