Default Chrome, black, or machined wheels on a candy red metallic GT?

Well guys, I've been soaking on this for quite some time. I absolutely love the candy red metallic on the 2010 but I wish it wasn't so hard to decide which wheels looked best. Any of you guys have pics or input? Thanks.

I think my red is darker or it may just be the lighting. Those stripes are freakin BA man, they really set off the wheels.

Since you asked for opinions, I'll stick my in. I'm not a big fan of chrome; I think a wheel with black and machined finishes combined look great with red.



BTW, that's the Steeda Spyder Wheel; it comes in chrome, machined, or black & machined as in the photo. You can see it at www.steeda.com.

Machined with Black, but since the last 3 or 4 sets of Chromed wheels ended up having Flaking issues including a set of OEM Harley wheels that were on my F150.
My Mazda 3, darker than your Red Candy but the Machined and black really set it off

I also have a 2010 Red Candy Metallic GT and have been pondering the same thing. I would like to see my car with a set of the Black Chrome Cobra R's or the Black Chrome Saleen's
