Definitely needs a pinstripe. White would look more euro-style, red would look more musclecar. Both would be fine.

Sorry to go off topic but to the OP is this the "piano black" version or the "matte black" version? Btw pin stripe looks better

A pinstripe along the edge of a wheel can look really good but I believe it is best reserved for people running really thin sidewalls, and @ 110 mm, you are not...

Compare the 2 posted Audi's versus the posted Camaro picture.

+1 on the lowering though, post new pictures when that is done and feel free to prove me wrong on the pinstripe.

After lowering, I would paint the calipers either red, blue or gold to add some pop to the wheel area.

Looks sick. I like it with no stripe around the edge. I think your car lowered with matte black stripes would look killer. Getting jealous right now. Wish my camaro was white.
