696 looks good, the 1100 is gaudy.

Don't get me wrong, I love red. (It's the fastest color) personally I think it's too much. I don't know if I like the rims matching the frame.

the 1100 is imo awful, but each to their own.

the red wheel 696 needs bodywork in great big chunky metal flake silver.  then it'd look cool.  maybe the blue/blue/red pantah stuff might look alright too.

I like the red wheels, but they could use some black/ white lettering or some rim tape.
