Thanks for the input........

Hey guys,

Thanks for the input, I'm probably looking to pull the trigger sometime after the new year so all this feedback is great! Also the red pin stripe is temporary (vinyl), the grey and white ones are permanent. A buddy of mine runs a body shop and details my car from time to time. I was talking to him about the wheels and he threw the red (temp) stripe above the white and grey stripes for me to get an idea of how they would look.

I have had them on for about a two weeks and I think I'm not digg'n it as much as I thought I would.

Thanks again,

BF

Black wheels - I like the red calipers - do the Brembo's give you better performance, fade or distance wise?

Sorry Bro, I like originality and the red is definitely different. If you do keep the pin stripe, keep some red in the rim (if not the circumference consider painting a couple of the spokes (U know what I mean). If ya want to blend in, keep the 87's and if ya want originality keep the pin stripe and compliment it with the black and red rims (that's just my opinion though, most importantly do what U like... I've alway's been the outside the box type...)

BF - here is my take....

I had aftermarket 22's............always received alot of compliments ....the minute I went to OEM wheels (replica 215's)......it just blew folks away.........People would say...man your 22's were cool but the stock look just sets it off perfect.....

So..with that said.....go for it....get the aftermarkets......also...get the red trim wheel as that is whats the latest trend....but remember that red trim look is just that...the latest trend......

....as for the pin stripe...not a big fan..........but if you do the red in the wheel .....delete the red pinstripe on the car........ a little much with red strpies...

IMO......of course!

which ever way you decide....make sure YOU POST PICS!!
