I would paint match the bumpers instead, and either leave the wheels stock or paint them black.

I agree, too much red.

Just a thought, have you tried just photoshopping the center caps and/or calipers red?

Try photoshopping this:

I think if you add black fender flares with the red wheels it would help break it up. Add larger tires and it would POP!

IMO red wheels would look terrible! i think some chrome bling would set the truck off...like the chrome rockstars for example
