I was thinking G2 blue with blue neon lug bolts. Also looking for new center caps, recommendations?

my rims



Also what is the best way to clean the brake disk? Anyone recommend painting them?

I think the blue lugs plus blue calipers would look awesome. Think white calipers would also look pretty nice on your car. Heard white calipers are hard to keep clean though.

Black so they match the dust & don't look cheap.

Red calipers always look good on black cars but blue ones would look good if you get those blue lug bolts to match

My choice would be red. I love the look on my C63 AMG with the obsidian black paint.

With all the appearance mods on my car I feel like red calipers is almost the same as putting AMG badge on it.

I've seen a light blue on a black car and it looked pretty cool



Only issue is finding the exact color of blue that will work with my car and not look cheap.

Silver is my other option w/chome lug bolts.

Also if you notice the lug bolts on my wheels are deep inside the rim. If I get a longer size bolt will the sit more flush with the top of the rim? I want them to look similar to the bolts on the first pic I posted of the neon blue lugs.

I would go to a auto paint supply company and review their blue swatches. If you are going to powder coat your blue color choices will be limited.

Good luck

Really like the look you've got going, I haven't liked chrome wheels for some time but every so often they can look great and they do here. Is it at stock height?

With the calipers, I'm not a fan of painting stock calipers, but if you do I'd go with a more medium blue as I think the lighter blue could look cheap:

I have red and blue but if I had my choice I'd go with the orange AMG caliper color

Thanks! and yeah stock height. I'm worried about how they will look if painted. Some what of an irreversible choice if it looks bad.

Those calipers on the vett look awesome. Red would be my first choice, but sadly I feel like it's stealing the look from AMG/ high quality calipers.

With chrome rims I want the wheels to look "clean". I'm considering just cleaning the hub as much as I can and painting the calipers silver or gloss black.

I just started looking into painting them so I'm not familiar with all the options or how much amg calipers even cost.

edit: $1800 for amg calipers holy crap lol

MyManDan26

Definitely like this color. I feel like it's going to be hard to find an exact match and I'm really **** about getting the perfect color.


How difficult is it to take the calipers off to paint? I've read people doing it with them on so you don't need to bleed the brakes, but it it's not that hard I rather take them off.
