I don't think so. If anything, IMO, it's too shiny for my taste. I'd get the matte red look. But then again, I probably would never get red wheels.

IMO you bought the car so you can make it your own any way you want. Who cares what someone else says. Would I get red wheels? More than likely not, but who cares what I would do. If you like them that is all that matters.

Red is the color of the year..
We have done good amount of red wheels on Lexus..
I think with the right wheel and finish it will look just right.
We have this 2015 Lexus GS350 we worked on last week and came out great..
Soon we will have a thread about it..


Here's a teaser....







Rohana RC-7

Tai3IS' red wheels = win.

Red stocks = not so much win.

I wouldnt dip/paint/etc the stocks. Just my 2 cents.

Its a trending type of color. Its hot now..not so much next year you know what i mean.. Sorta how brass light fixtures, door *****, etc. were the hot thing to have in your house in the 80's-90's now everyone's after brush nickle and stainless appliances... Anyone remember when stainless appliances came out?.. lol

I think it looks badass.. Ask me again in a year though, its crazy how things go back an forth.

I think some subtle red accents look really nice with ultra white....but I would never go for red wheels. Just my opinion, but it's your car.
