So my rims will be coming in soon, and I was thinking about painting the callipers.

The wheels will be 5zigen matte black, the car is black. So my question would be, 'What color would you paint your callipers?'.

I honestly don't want to go for the traditional Red or perhaps Black? Maybe a daring Yellow?
Any other suggestions that go well with black rims on a black car?

Cheers

 

black, yellow is ghey, nothing daring about that

 

Norcal, would you go yellow? I think it'll look good.

I think its quite daring. One guy on the evo forums had a black evo with yellow calipers and everyone thought it was daring.

1. Being brighter, constrast.
2. Different

I'll try and dig it up!

 

How about some K-Sport's in orange

 

i did mine gold for a white RA...i knoe some will say rice..but it went nicely with bronze rims and blue lugs.. my rears are black, looks too stealthy/drum like.
i say give gold a try..

 

Get them painted the same gold color just like the Subaru STIs. Black with Gold is Steezy

 

yeah gold is completely different from yellow. like the stock brembos g35's come with, those are gangsta! haha. but i know for sure yellow on black would look weird. i just like the whole colormatching scene, it looks nice, so thats why i think black brembos would look good

 

hey, what rims are those and where did you get them? they look really nice!

 

Black or gold... Porsche's and Subys' look kick a$$ with gold calipers.

 

They do, but will a mean looking black RA look kick a**?!

I might go black, or gold, actually, I'll put the rims on once I get them, then some kind person can photoshop them for me!

 

I would say a high gloss black would look pretty good behind black rims. If you are trying to catch the eye have you thought about white? That's about as much contrast as you can get.

Gold would look ok, but yellow is more daring as you say. yellow says rice and race at the same time to me, I would have to see it to make a determination either way. Anyone have pics of yellow on black or white on black?

 

I have yellow on yellow, not to musch help but I'm planning on painting them flat black,I am going sleeper full throttle.(hard with a yellow car)

 

well having a black car is definitely a plus, many more color schemes can be pulled off.

i would go with gold too or bronze.

 

I would go Red. But a lot of ppl have red...I have red :P
