Custom Caliper Colors
Wanted to know what colors you guys are rocking. Shardul and I have been wondering what color I should do. I really don't want red or yellow since everyone is doing that. I want a nice dark metallic color. Shardul said gunmetal but I am thinking more in lines of a Laker purple with silver AMG lettering....Post up on what color would look good on silver.

Just in case you change your mind.



Had Rotora chrome dipped calipers on the Escalade.
I think it'll look pretty cool with a nice set of wheels with a polished lip.
