Show me Red cars with Gold wheels!

I have a set of "Miami Vice" style gold centered OZ wheels I am thinking of painting the centers black. But I wanna see some red cars with gold centered wheels before I decide.
Thanks.

Shawn--put some polished 7 and 9" fuchs on your car with black centers. Why are you trying to screw it up? Those wheels belong on your car and nothing else.

Jon,
Because I have the OZ wheels sitting in my garage and Fuchs cost money.(which I have very little of) If anyone has a set of FREE Fuchs laying around send them over.

And I don't even have fuchs! I think I've been brainwashed by this board. I see your point Shawn--free is good.

I think the red with the wheels with the gold centers looks fine. Start your quest for the fuchs. It took me five months to acquire mine.

use the gold wheels Shawn. I have some freaky chrome style 90 rims (froma 964) with nice spacers on mine, and I am saving up to buy some differnet wheels, but I still drive it. Its your car...

They look fine to me, but it's up to you, not us.
