What color would you do for a white body with 5-spoke brushed aluminum sport wheels? I was thinking silver calipers might look nice, but perhaps that is too conservative?

G2 is nice but if you want something quick just go to your local parts store...

RBrenton88 i would do something different, however i had sliver and it was classy but i changed it up to red for a more sporty look.....yellow would look sic as well

Yellow? You think that would work on a white car? I wonder if there are pics somewhere that would show this. I am leaning toward red though.

Another question (apologies for hijacking this thread)...

I see both paint-on and spray paint brands. Anyone know which is preferred and why?

I think silver would be nice and Classy but sporty as well. On a white car you may want to go red so it can stand out a bit. I have a black car and I want to paint mine silver. I have the stickers in black

Thanks Alex, the yellow does look better then I imagined. This will be a tough decision between red and yellow.
