Help me decide on wheel/caliper color...please?

Hey guys,

I think it's time to paint my wheels. I was thinking of painting them black and painting my calipers yellow.

I don't have good picture of my car but here is a white car with my same wheels. Also I think it's finally time for a drop. What do you guys think? Thanks!!




P.S. Damn today I made 3 threads already....I starting to feel like cpbeasley....loool j/k

Finally! Slam your ride Karo lol.... Paint your calipers candy teal...MMMmMmM so sexy of a color. But yellow will look good or a gold color or blue is always good too IMO.

I like bronze on white cars, but black will look good too. It'll make the caliper color stand out more.

Thanks, me and milkman were thinking about bronze wheels too. You think it'll look good on our car?

That teal color looks dope. Bronze with teal calipers and teal lugnuts

I say Hunter Orange!


If you can dip them to get the realtree pattern that would be a plus ;-)

Has anyone had their brakes dipped? I don't know if the dipping process works for components that get hot, but it would be interesting!

Bronze or gunmetal would look good (black's too common, imho, and pandas are for the zoo ).

Then a nice blue for the calipers. Since your car's white, it can handle two more interesting colors for the wheels/calipers.

As long as you don't do black rims/red calipers, please.

I might go Bronze but I love the look of the Mag VOLKs!!! I don't know if that'll look good on a white car.

Thanks everyone for your help. I might have to go with Mag because Milkman originally talked about Bronze and I don't want to jack his idea.
