I was thinking the exact same thing. That is a cool two tone. I don't normally like body colored rims very much, but those do make your car look sinister. Not that my opinion matters very much, but I'll give you two thumbs up. :D

After seeing the car with the 275/60s, the fenderwell has a large gap now. Otherwise, the wheels really complement the color scheme. They accentuate the contrast between the red and black. Is lowering it in the plans?

The black rims look awesome with the two tone paint on your car.

I like the way the rims look. I am a big fan of the blacked out look. Have you though about the headlight covers? I mean you can take them off at night and all. Oh, we did a similar 2 tone on my son's car. Something I found that helps set it off is a pin stripe that matches the colors. I'll try to get you a pic. Car looks really good though.

Sorry, heres the pic. Only one I can find right now. No, it's not a Fox Body, but he sure is proud of it. lol. Hopefully you can see what I mean by the stripe.

Very mad max, I like it.  Only thing missing is the machine gun turret.

Look great! I think painting the pillar and header bird black would look good too. Need some tints now too to finish off the black.
