I think I'll have to agree it needs something to offset it.
Too much black and hard to see the style when it's like that IMO.

I was thinking that if the cars owner loves it - then I'd be happy for him. If he is looking at it and it's "unsettling" - by that I mean - he's not sure... then it's "not right" (yet).

Having said that - I went to check out the pic (yellow 69 with all black wheels) and expected to have "ricer" pop in my head (I'm old). What popped in my head was "track car - all business". If it didn't have the black vinyl top - it wouldn't work at all for me. And frankly - vinyl tops don't scream "track car" - but for me the wheels made it work for that particular combo.
