Damn that looks nice.  What wheels are those?  More interested in Size/offset/etc

Not sure what brand they are, bought them from Greg's Tire on Ebay.  15x7's with offset of 4 3/4"

front tires are 205/60/15

rears are 225/60/15 also lowered 2".

They sure filled up the wheel well. I'm leaning towards the black center cap color, the pictures don't do them justice.

Yeah they do.  Right now I'm rolling on '87 T-bird "snowflakes" They're 17x7 ??  They put a mean footprint down, but I'm looking to go down to a smaller diameter wheel/tire combo.

Did you do any sort of suspension modifications?

No mods on the front suspension, just all new parts. The rearend is from the Mustang II- 8" posi with 1.5" lowering blocks.  I thought about 17's but didn't want my car looking like a HotWheel. Seems that's the look to go for these days.

Since there is nothing else on the car that is red, i think you should stick with the black.  The red looks better when it is just a pic of the tire and wheel by itself, but when placed in perspective on the car. Black is the best choice.  If you had a red interior you could go with the red caps,  But every color needs a compliment to it.  Just remember though, it doesnt matter what one of us thinks or even a thousand.  Its your ride, do what makes you happy.

The 17" I have on there were free so I can't complain.  A friend of my dad's was stripping his T-bird down to become a outlaw drag car or something.  So I got some goodies off him.  The rubber is holding up much better than the ancient rubber that was on the old rallye rims.
