Those would look AWESOME on a black, or white FC, maybe even the right shade of blue, but I agree with the others, not on the maroon. Damn good paint job though.

Its hard to get a good color for those stock 'phone dial' rims.. I have the same ones and I like em silver.
If anything I'd probably clean em up real good and prime em, then paint them with chrome nice and thick, like with an airbrush thing.. then put on like 5-6 coats of clearcoat.. heh..
Actually I'd just restore them to factory defualt, except new, I think that way looks the best. But its all about how you like em, so if you like em red, keep em red

i used plasti-kotes anodizit when you have aluminum you dont need the base coat, but there is a blue color too
and i sprayed it with some clear coat so now its more durable and wont fade and stuff
