I feel the black rims thing is all played out now and takes away the appearance of the car.

With your Red I'd opt for a Titanium or Brushed silver look...just my $0.02. Take a look at a Red 2010 GT3 and you'll see what I mean...

I've never been a fan of black wheels, especially on the P40's as you really miss out on the details of the wheel. I'd go for brushed. If I was stuck on black I'd go with the P43's.

However, wheels are such a personal thing so go with your gut.

Black on Red looks great. I would go with the polished lip over the black with red pinstripe.

Buy what looks good to you. Personally, black wheels plus the black tire and wheel well all run together and create 2 "black holes" on the side of the car. That's just me though.

Haha, since you've got a C4S as well, I guess they'll be a perfect fit

The beauty of wheels, as with most mods, is completely in the eye of the beholder. Go with what YOU like the most.

Personally I think black HRE's would look great.

I agree with that.....I like the brushed P40's. I ordered them and they should be here any day now.

If you feel you need to part with these early, I will take them off your hands at a much deserved discountLOL

As others have said you have to pick what works for you. Personally.....not a fan at all of black wheels and would never spend HRE money to have the wheels essentially disappear in to the wells.

Brushed PR40's on Guards Red looks amazing
