New Wheels finally, what color

Hey guys, I finally have saved enough money for my cobra rs. I was wondering what you guys would think of white cobra rs, on a red truck. I have pics on my page Dead Link Removed I am soon going to be painting the bumpers and fender flares the same red body color also. I wanted to go with a red and white color scheme. Maybe sometime soon I want to get a white pinstripe down the side. I thought that the all red truck with white rims would be awsome. Then painting my calipers red also, would finish off the look. What do you guys think? Would it be too much? Let me know. Does ford motorsports make them, or do you ahve to buy the cobra r look alikes to get the white ones. But let me know what you guys think.
THanks,
Jason

Hey guys, ok I was looking around, and now I have a new question. I am thinking of spending a little more money and buying a set of Konig Villian. I think they look awsome, and would compliment my truck nicely. My only question now is size. I mean I think the 18x9s would be awsome, but would they be too big? I would be putting like 245/40/18s on them. I know the tire would be alot smaller then the stock tires. but the wheel is two inches larger too. I want somethign to fill the wheel well nicely. What do you guys think? WIll I run into some trouble by going that big. Would I need spacers for these also? Where can I get them? Thanks alot guys, I hope someone can help me

Jason,

Personally, I don't like white wheels, but that's just my opinion. We have the black mods and I like those. Never been much for anything other than silver or black for wheels though. I always thought it looked a little goofy. Again, only my opinion.

Heck ya!..I am sure those 18x9s will tuck in perfectly. If you want some wheel and tire expert. then I would call this one place in Miami (the place is called Rein-tech..something like that) the number is 1-800-329-2427 and ask for Alex or any other people there. That number was given to me by a rep. from Pirelli tire which I am going with either the Scorpion Zeros and the Yokohama's AVS I am probably going to purchase some wheels soon, there going to be in the 18 inch. As for the painting your wheels white on a red explorer, I rather not...seems better looking on a rice-burner cars I've seen here in my area. I think either chrome or polished will the choice...my opinion! I think those Konig Villian or the Tremor will look NICE!
