Id zoom out a post a picture so we can see the whole side and someone can photosjop your other back wheel to match. I can when I get off work

But I seem to always like red cars with black rims and a red trim

I know someone who did this and used cheap paint, the red faded to orange and it look bad.

Looks pretty good. Why not go ahead and do it? If you end up not liking it just pick up another set of stockers on here from someone.

Isn't it already too late. You painted one wheel, you can't drive around with one different colored tooth.
