You have only 1 option.

Carbon Fiber stripes and 60% tint on the wheels. Call me for your replacement panels in satin.

I say leave it the way it is.

Yep or maybe 30%

There you have it! I have to go with Tyler. It would transform the car and look so aggressive.

I love dark centers on red cars but have to agree that it fights the white stripes a little. Something that may help tie it in without replacing all the panels in C/F would be to paint the outline around the stripes in a dark grey. Maybe even double it's thickness to butt it right up to the white hiding the red edge and the white border and make it a little less o.e. and a little more sinister. Just my $.02

Scott ---

The way it is now looks killer. If you're going to color the wheels - then I think you have to go all the way and match/pick up on, the blacked out grill... otherwise there's just too many colors going on. You have chrome - red - white - black... :>)

Maybe look around the engine room and see a trend and then carry that to the exterior.

If it was mine - I'd take it down to the bare frame and just start over!

I'd say 50%. Reminds me of the anthracite finish on Kinesis wheels.

And you should make it a satin/matte clear coat!

I'd say leave it alone.

Leave it alone, the red is shiney, the white is shiney, the wheels have full polish,

IF, you had built it like the Devil, you could get away with tinting the wheels, but you have the white, so stay with the wheels,

Like my car with the Techni color Fikse Profil 13's, since the car is so dark, Deep Fathom Green Metallic, a flat or darker center would bring out too much dark hues, I feel that the car will contrast good with the chrome bumpers and polished wheels, especially in the bright Florida sun, but since its in the garage in parts I could be completely WRONG!!!

I voted the 20% but for that hassle I'd leave it alone looks great as is.

Maybe for a easy change tint the windows more, that would look sick IMO.

Scott I'd go 30 to 40%, max. I would want to still be able to see the fine machining details on those HREs through the clear and if you go too dark, that will be lost...I've been considering doing this exact thing with my Fikses.
