They look good.
However ther eis more to rims than looks, especially in a high performance car.
Weights, construction (forged vs cast) offsets etc.
Are you sure you have the right combo there? I would be much keener to leave the stock wheels than downgrade them just for looks.

Those are Ruger Mesh, we have those in stock right now:

They are low pressure cast, which means on the heavy side considering the concave nature of the rear wheels. Front wheels are 24 lbs and rear wheels are 28 lbs.

Looks alone, I like the idea. Only wonder how goes with red calipers, probably great, but my only question, aside from weight.

Nice looking wheel. I've considered painting the aluminum band on my stock center locks in red.

That would be one set of black with red hold the welds.

I think it will look great, I went with white pinstripes for something different. Everyone has red or yellow pinstripes.

Yes, but those are pretty conservative offsets.

FWIW, I bought my wheels from WD before the ban. I received good service, both during and after the sale.
