Yeah, looks good. I would do it. Make sure the red is an exact color match of your red though. Otherwise it'll look off up close.

Well goodie then! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

Here's another comment... Ever seen SpdRcrChk's ride? The rim stands out from the rest of the wheel and it look hot! I think it would look yummy, especially if you concentrated on the race-type theme.
