Nice choice on the wheels! Post up pics when you get them on the car.

As for the caliper, I would def have to say either silver or gold!!

What do you want to stand out more the wheels or the calipers? If you do red or gold although would look compliment the wheel but would make the calipers stand out more. Black on the other hand will give you a clean subtle look which will make the purple stand out. I've thought about this idea in the past because our GG have a tint of purple in the paint. You want those purple wheels to stand out I'd go with the black calipers with purple brembo decal.

What paint code is that if you want to keep it a secret hit me up with a PM. I may want to have my Honda S2000 in that color.

I want the wheels to be the center of attention. The wheels have a +20 offset so they're already uber aggressive, so it should look hot.

The paint code is no secret. Its Midnight Purple off the R33 & R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R. The paint code is LP2. I honestly dont mind if people copy it. I'm sure painting wheels this color came across the minds of others in the past, I was just the first one to go through with it.

BTW I think an s2000 would look AWESOME in that color! I tossed around the idea of paint the evo that color cause i could do it basicly for the cost of the paint, but i like GG. Maybe sometime in the future.

When I get home tonight I might slap a rim on and see what it looks like and post up a pic. Maybe then we can photochop some different color calipers on there.

I saw go gloss black or a silver/gray/metalic color. As for stickers, I'm at a loss.

Looks good. Definitely won't have to worry about someone you pass having them.

I'd vote black calipers...or a chameleon (blue - purple only).
