I'd rather have a 15, or 16...but jesus these are cheap, and much cheaper than i'd find a 15 or 16 brand new. i'm sticking w/ 17's.

so far i've got this on 2 boards. the younger crowd is this board, saying yes to red. my board back home is mostly mid 20's and older, and they say polished.

hmmmmm *waits for older crowd's opinion on here* :D

Hey! I am older... not that I should be admitting that. I think that perhaps the red lip is a newer trend and the oldies just aren't as savvi.

Photoshopped the hell out of this didn't you. lol... Black roof, exhaust, no pink, and lowered. I like it.

I say go with chrome though... Too much of one color, the red, is a possibility as well, which would make it look gaudy. The chrome would be a good accent color to the car.

Although there would be alot of red and black going on with the car, I picked it because everyone and their grandma has black wheels with a polished lip nowadays, but I guess that can be said with anything...

i agree... the polished I have seen plenty before. just look at DaBeast's old crx, he had black/polished 17's on his red hf. no one is really doing big fat red lips...yet.

Maybe there is a reason everyone sticks with the polished over red... But like I said that is MY opinion.

I would see it working on other car colors, but Black and Red with... Black and Red, cars like that NEEEEED a third color to make it pop and to accent the car in general.

Personally, I think Silver is one of the only colors that can get away with using 2 colors on the whole car... Example Tom and Jesse's car. Silver with Chrome. and there are other cars and colors that can pull off the "2 color" look, but I don't see this one working out well using 2 colors. Especially, dark colors.

But this is coming from a guy that knows and has grown up with art all of his life.
