Not bad at all!!
Red (gloss) was my first choice before I went with dark blue but I thought it would be a little too much.
After seeing a few matte i8's (including mine) I'm more and more sure that the i8 needs to be glossy, the matte makes it a bit humble.

But still the combo of matte red with gloss black wheels looks very nice!

We stopped after a few test pieces

Not feeling the wheels or the two tone but the red looks awesome.

It looked so nice before messing with it...

Looks fantastic, improved IMO.

Not to my taste at all, looks odd

Me too, Kiwi, but to each his own. That's why we have different cars, colors, etc. I even look back at some of the cars I bought, years ago and wonder where my head was at.
