reason i was thinking coloured other than black was so that when the wheel spins, the silver or red would come through? emphasies the fact there is HUGE gaps between the spokes?

although i am thinking along the black lines now......... :oops: :? what you all reckon guys?

cheers ade :wink:

[red_devil]

I'd recommend silver or red... those alloys are very nice and need to show off the gaps in the spokes which will make them look bigger

What size are they Mike

[locky]

Black! wont look so dirty then!

[Chris_W]

Well I'd say silver or red, though I actually voted red. Only problem with painting calipers a bright colour is that it will make your brakes look even smaller :( Better get on and order those 300mm discs like I showed you... ;)

cant spend all my $$$ at once ;)

its buckets this week :twisted:


its going to be red methinks

despite getting my dad to dig out our black paint today :lol: :roll:

have to go buy some red now i guess

[paul123]

i would paint them red.because you have a red car.red would look nice with black wheels.

[Paul]

Yeh go red. Don't introduce new colours like silver. That will look shit. Red will make your car look so much better. I painted my calip[ers and pad things at the front in red on a red sr this weekend. Makes the car look unbeleivably better.

[Nova-Boy]

Go red. With black wheels and a red car use RED to brake up the wheels. Dont want it to be too dark down there!

[Nova_Tek]

What colour is your car?

Do it the same is the body!

Works for me!

Red will suit your car best. Stick with the Red/Black theme throughout your car.

think im gona go with red

just the black is tempting as i have the paint already :lol:

[ade]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

red - too boy racerish!

and will not compliment yer wheels (will detract from them!)

Black - will hide brakes, leave a silver disc of thr pad which from a distance will look sweet (regardless of the size)

red just looks neddish (IMO)

Anyway - you have the paint...

You may as well do them black - then if you dont like it - do them red instead...

:D

[ollster]

go for black, red looks terrible anyway but after the first touch of the brakes it wont be very red anyway due to brakedust

[mikeoxford]

following a few theories from replies...


ive got black paint anyway - so may as well use it and try it.

red "neddish... hmmmmm" can c the point, wud think itll look OK though.

i dont wanna detract from wheels at all, so i think black is the way to go..........

can always change it

cheers for all your help guys
