Red or Black

So, I'm pulling m TC105N's of tomorrow to get them powder coated. I have thought about which color I'd do for some time now, and I still cant decide. On one hand the black wheel thing looks pretty good, but it seems that is about all I see on a Graphite Grey Evo IX. So I started looking around to check out different cars and it looks as though a trend is forming to do red wheels i.e the Porsche GT3 RS and a few others.

Here is a random pic of my ride. Of course if any one can photoshop the GT3 RS basic color scheme in black and red onto my pic that would rock.

Any thoughts?

What about bronze or gold? Different but not as "weird" as red.

"Weird" for Red means, go black, :-). Although i appreciate your input, I'm not feeling the others because thats really not my style.

Mine is Red on Blacks and I'm pretty happy with that (never regretted), so I guess Black on Reds will be at least as good. If not red, I'd surely wouldn't chose black, instead consider white or maybe even art like spiral.

The bigboard on the back of your car also shows that black/dark grey and red combination is not bad at all.

I'd say if you want a "aggressive look" go red but imo red would look harsh. Go with a dark bronze imo or balck since that was your other choice

If red and black are the only choice, go with black. Red would be a bit different but will settle over time..

Black, red just wouldn't work. On the GT3 it does but Black is better on the EVO IMO.

I would go with red. Not too many people have that color so it would be original and why go with just a normal red. A red that comes to my mind would be blood red. Another is powdercoat the wheel with a base of black then candy red on top. Metallic candy red would be interesting color. It would look black at night and then in day where there is sunlight you would see the red on top of the black and the red metallic flake.

Looks good! I like the satin black look.

By the way, what is your suspension setup?
