Help choosing caliper color
I have a red c63 and Im getting ready to start working on it. I am going to start on the calipers first because I have been dying to paint them.
Should I paint them red and keep stock rims? (I don't want to feel like a p31 poser)
paint them red and get black rims or paint stock rims black?
paint them yellow and keep stock rims?
paint them yellow and get black rims?
Any other suggestions would definitely help.
I uploaded a picture but it's not my car. If anyone has any photoshopping skills, I would love to see what they would look like painted yellow.

You won't be a poser. Whichever color you pick, black rims will make the caliper colors pop. You should check out the official picture thread to get some ideas. Maybe you'll find some other caliper/rim combo you like that you didn't think of.

I don't think flashy colors would look good on a red car. I think the lime green, the blue and orange work well for standard colors such as black, white and silver.

I think either red or yellow will look great on your car. Try configuring ferrari to see the picture. Hope it helps!

Hmmm... I reckon bronze or a striking orange would look pretty bad ***. Though even red would be mental if you do decide to paint the wheels black too. let us know how you go. - good luck -
