The story is I have a set of 18s that have a fresh powder coat, the ghost chrome that's in the pic and i bought a pair of 17" wheels to rebuild and refinish so i tried the tiffany blue.
Let me know what you think on crimson red

Chrome lips, white face, man. Red on white always look good.
And colormatch that black trim while you're at it.

Other than polished/chrome, white is really the only color wheel I'd want on a red car. I guess gold won't be too bad. Kinda old school. But any blue wheel on a red car just kinda grates on my nerves.
Oh wait... here ya go - Chrome lip, titanium face. BOOM. Baller shit worthy of Work Equips.

Stupid colored wheels are for hipster idiots. That's what I think. Polished, silver, black, and gold are the only options.

Whats the point of posting teal wheels on cars of a different color? I mean, I love CANDY Teal... just not on red cars. Black or white cars? Hell yeah. Red? Ugh. That S2000 is less hot with that color wheel...

^^^New? Burnt titanium/prism finish on their wheels yet is still relatively untouched. Pick something truely worthy of Work Equips, OP. Something fucking epic.

Yea relitively untouched because who can finish wheels that way without sending them out for crazy prices
Canadians can't even get chrome plating let alone neo chroming like youre mentioning without being shipped to Cali
