Jaforo: Thanks for the work. I think if it was a darker red, it would look good.

I know I want that Milano Red, but I'm just playing around with wheels.

Any more?

I managed to match that red on my monitor, but when I saved the picture and posted it, it used the original color table from your pic instead of what works on my computer. The color table in the file of the pic of your car in front of the tunnel didn't have the colors in it needed to reproduce that red... so... it looked brighter.

If you're going for red on the body, go bronze or darker on the wheels. At least a bare aluminum finish.

Personally, I'd avoid that red. At least until you've done everything else you've wanted to do with that car. Especially if your car is not rusting and your clear coat is still surviving. Painting your car a different color reduces its resale value significantly. Get your wheels first and then decide. Paint is expensive if you want it to look good, and selecting wheels that fit well and look good regardless of the paint is more important IMO. But for me, performance always comes first. It's your car. Do it the way you want it.

Jafro: Thanks...I'm not planning on painting it till Spring, but I came across those wheel and paint color, and wanted to see what it would look like.

Performance always comes first for me...thats why I had a turbo'ed D series, and am swaping in a B18c5!
