RED time attack pin stripe or not on a LASER RED coupe?

I need an opinion from you guys, i recently bought a set of Varrstoen wheels(rep. of the volks TE37) matte black. I have a laser red g35 coupe and was wondering if i should just roll with the wheels all matte black just how they are or if i should add a RED timeattack pin stripe? if so where can i get the red time attack pin stripes for the wheels.?
thanks, let me know








OR

I would get them professionally pin striped on, by a pin striper. They sell stickers on ebay but.......

Also why not do something different. The wheels you bought are already over played with matte black. Maybe change it up with a different color?

It does look better because it breaks the tire from wheel, but it's very repetitive. Just my 2 cents.

looks great with the red stripe. Buy some of the stickers and try it out, if you like it after a month or two then you can get it professionally done if you like. Honestly its not like there are a ton of red g35s with time attacks, and i doubt there are any near you that will see on an even monthly basis.

If something looks good and you like it don't feel like your going with the crowd on g35driver.

I realize that when i take breaks from going on g35driver I appreciate my car more. This website can make you jaded and feel that your car always needs more. I appreciate my car more when i didnt go on the site for 6 months.

Heh, yea I totally agree. Plus it helps to stay living within my means. I'm a teacher, I don't make that much so I can't be spending that much.

With that being said, I've always liked gunmetal rims on a red car. Had them on my Civic, looked great. And so do white rims. Theres a few more options for ya.

Glad you settled on the red stripe, that will look good with the black wheels on your LR coupe....

should've done white rims..white on LR looks good..just most ppl don't do it cuz it's a pain to keep the white clean..i'll be glad to sell my Black Works to get away from the black...can't wait to see how the new wheels will look...g/l on your pin stripe or wateva it is u decide..just as long as u do wat u like and not wat everyone says to do..thats part of being unique..

Last time I saw white wheels that looked good they were on a wagon pulling circus animals! G35ua has the right idea with his LR coupe, black wheels with a red stripe....that combination will always look good! White wheels

Black rims with the red TA stripe seems to be the general consensus.. what width do you guys think would work well?

Also, what about the idea of a "reflective" red pinstripe? Does anyone have pictures of this?
