I do like those wheels, expecially with painted accents. At first glance I thought you had the "Special Edition" model, then I noticed you had the silver trim around the windshield and fog lights.
Looks good, James

Very nice wheels! Almost as nice as mine.
Red calipers. Definitely!

Re: Wadaayyaa Think
Gotcha, I didn't think of that. What do you think of gloss black? I wonder how hard / expensive body match paint would be as well as durability (heat resistance)?

Re: Wadaayyaa Think
I am sure they do not make a true blaze red in a high temp caliper paint, but they may make a high temp clear you could apply after a few coats of blaze, but I am not familiar with such a product.
A few options a.) going red and accpting it will not look 100% (but has the potential to look terrible) b.) spending big $$$ to have color matched calipers that hardly anyone can see with the style wheel you have c.) paint them a black or something else that will not pop the same way a red or yellow would, but will look very clean d.) go with another color (ie yellow) that will not have to worry about matching and will give you that wow look, but this may look terrible if there is nothing else on the car to tie this color into.
I like the black, silver, etc idea. Make them clean like the wheels but nothing too over the top.
Just my .02

I did not think I would like them but they look good. I'm not a big fan of M-B covers on a Chrysler product, but each to his own. It looks like you replaced the lugnuts with chrome versions as well? Suggest you go with silver for the calipers.

Re: Wadaayyaa Think
All of the feedback is appreciated. I painted the black on the wheels to make them look thinner than the stock SRT6 rims. I didn't care much for the original STR 6 center caps.
