What do you guys think of the red rims?

Got my flame suit on, so all genuine opinions welcome

Better picture? You ask us to look at your rims but then post an angled shot so we can barely see them...

With that said, you need to be more aggressive to pull it off IMO. You need a drop and spacers at the least. Custom bumper, trunk, roof spoiler, etc. Also I'd paint the mirrors red to match, and get black and white roundels as the blue clashes now.

IMO if you want red rims I would go with another type of red like a candy or metallic red
red and black roundels
paint your brake calipers black and if you have the 320 emblem on the back I would paint them red too

Sorry, but I don't love it. Be careful with overdoing the matching accents. I wouldn't do the mirrors or grill but the tiny line on the spoiler looks decent. If you love it though, that's what's important

I want to like it.....but I don't. It needs to look more aggressive to pull off something like that.

I couldn't find black with red, but here's a few examples of car that IMO pull off red wheels..... you need to be MORE AGGRESSIVE as others (and myself) have said, and I think you need another red accent (like mirrors as shown below)

You need a more aggressive wheel to do in red and pull it off. Red mirror caps would complement it. I think you can over do the whole red and black color scheme pretty easy.. in my opinion.. but that being said to each their own
