Wow........36k miles in a year?
Not only did they do a shabby job on the brake calipers, but they could have at least spent $30 for some new black center caps that weren't painted with a can.

They could have made it look more "70's" and put white center caps in there!

Advans: I like your (two piece?) wheels with the alloy showing against the tire.

a powdercoat (with 35% satin ± or a wrinkle) would look leaps better...

you lose the whole curvature of the spokes if not.

EEEWWWWWWWWW *breath* WWWWWWWWWWWW

Black rims seem to work only under certain rare circumstances, not to mention that these weren't painted well.

Not feeling the black rims either, but what do you all think about the red calipers? I just bought a set and it's currently painted red, not sure if they look too small to be red?

I don't think these look that bad... definitely different.
