Red/Black Wheels + Tires? (Let's see 'em)

[TheYankeeMarshal]

I am about to add a whipple to my S650. Since I will be needing to put better tires on it, I thought I might get new wheels as well. My car is oxford white with the bronze package but I have added red and black graphics to the car and red grill inserts (which I thought I would hate but actually really like), so I am considering changing to black/red wheels (I will of course change the bronze badges as well). Because of this, I have a few questions.

Does anyone run black/red wheels on their S650? Have pics? (I am looking at ones like the pic below)

What tires would everyone recommend for a little better three season grip?

What size wheels/tires would you personally chose? Staggered?

Thanks in advance.

Those^ look like they might be actually pretty nice? Maybe do a mock up with them on a computer and then you would be available to visualize much better. Sometimes certain colored rims can throw everything off in my opinion, sometimes not all the time. Nice whip BTW. Cheers

I mean, if it were me, I'd run a staggered setup. A square setup (same width all around) will limit your rear tire width, leaving you with zero traction. A wider rear wheel lets you maximize the contact patch where the supercharger sends all its power.

I would choose a 20-inch staggered setup for the perfect blend of aggressive stance and modern tire availability:

Front Wheels, 20x10-inch (with a +35mm offset)Rear Wheels: 20x11-inch (with a +50mm to +52mm offset)

Front Tires: 275/35R20
Rear Tires: 305/35R20 or 315/35R20
