Thanks for posting. I too have a firestorm and was thinking about changing over to white wheels. Now I'm not so sure about that. I'm also not a fan of the stick-on logos. But then again, I'm an old fart and set in my ways.

Stickers look like garbage

Rims look decent

Why upgrade rims and keep 400000 treadwear tires?

I am not a fan of white rims on any car but if it's done I usually prefer Blue, Red.

Yours looks pretty good. Maybe get the right size tire?

The car looks like a monster truck like mine. Needs moar low.

I'd lose the roll call stickers, unless your sponsors require them and you plan on showing the car.

Aesthetically, I think you've well balanced some aggressive touches (the red, the wheel style, the stickers) against the the white of the wheels, the muted (but beautful) lines of the car itself, and shown nice restraint by not adding a spoiler, etc.
I do think it could use a little bit of a drop or perhaps bigger wheels. The back wheel in particular seems overwhelmed by the rear fender.

Overall, I like it, and its intriguing. Good job.
