black car with red rims - yes/no?

im kinda looking for a set of rims, 15", lightweight, relatively low cost, split spoke design. i was set on some enkei RPF1's, but those are kinda pricy.

found these, but they dont have silver in 15" and only color options are black, bronze or red. dont want black, because thats too much black. bronze might be ok, but still a little dark. but red...im wondering if its too loud, too "flashy"...too much?

this is a very quick, 5 minute chop...what do you think?


btw, thats a polished lip, not a white-wall tire. lol

yes? no?

btw, these are flik fuel, 12lbs for 15x6.5, 40mm offset, at ~$79/rim...that is an amazing deal, considering the enkeis are 9.9lbs for 15x7, 38mm offset, $200+/rim.

I;m definatly not fealing the red rims, i think thats nasty. But what is my opinion worth? nothing really. I think you should go gun metal or low gloss black.

I like the red on black look alright. I dont however like that rim design. If you are going for red I like the look of the GT-3s best. I guess the Flik are just too much red not enough polish, IMO.

rota gt-3


flik fuel


looks like the same amount of lip and red....just a different design. and i like the split spoke look much better.

my concern isnt the design, its the red w/ black.

Looks like a knockoff of the Kosei K1-TS, which is available in silver, with out the dumb polished lip. Not $79, but not 200 either.
Small rim, polished lip = even smaller looking rim.

Just go with the bronze or black......more "professional". And both look good.

kosei's are about 130/rim...and 12-13lbs. i dont really see a point.

maybe ill just keep saving for the rpf1's...or maybe something better will come along by the time im ready.

ideally, id love something like a rota battle, or a tenzo r passion, but in a 15" and lightweight. 5 narrow split spoke design. i know about the kazera, not really digging it.

if you didn't like them right off the bat, then i'd say no. you probably won't get used to them.
