Looking for opinions of on red lining or black lining wheels and calpers

Hello all,

I'm looking for opinions on me red-lining or black-lining my wheels, as well as power coating my calipers red. I have attached crudely photoshopped images of each option.

My original direction is to red-line the wheels and power coat the calipers red, but would like opinions of if that is too much red.

I would love your thoughts.

I don't like the red lip. Red calipers are nice though with the polished lip.

  • Red calipers are more popular for people who want a sporty, noticeable upgrade.
  • Black calipers are preferred for people who want a classy, understated look.
  • Wheel pinstripes (red or black) are more of a personal taste—some LOVE the detail, others prefer bare wheels.

Red line wheels look good. With red calipers it helps to draw attention to the wheels. May be more attention than you want. In which case do not do the red calipers. Black calipers disappear. Is white a possibility? White line wheels and white calipers is the perfect combo for white car!
