Scene look/Currently cool paint job help needs to be in Styling mate. lol
BTW, what's your car look like/what style/size wheels etc etc?
How about vinyl wrapping the wheels?

White goes lovely with red, you could even do a red pin stripe around the rim lip.
Yeah it's not a cool, mad, sick psychodelic colour but it won't look crap in a few years down the line.
Just my thoughts, that's what I'd do. At the end of the day it's your ride :thumb:

Right hers my idea's..
First off if you have black bumpers it might be an idea to think about getting them redone in another color or shade of silver/gray etc, or go white bumpers red wheels??
If your on about GSi fan blade's then i say if your not on a tight budget to get them coated red, then get the faces diamond cut and a anthracite lip to the edge..??

i dont fancy repainting the bumpers as ive just had them done metalic black i like the idea of the doing the wheels as you sugested thanks mate
This is how i did my gsi fanblades when i had my old mk2
The red rim was painted on, and the wheels made my old car imo
