Mock up of wheel/caliper color combo. want input

Tell me what you guys think of these mock ups and how they look. Maybe some input on changes or anything that may improve. I know they are rough but im not going to spend hours doing something like this. My evo is apexi silver with the stock enkeis and the colors represented are lambo orange/charcoal grey/stock silver. The brembos will have new stickers that are graphite grey (if i go that route with the rim) or another color. i will also put new enkei stickers on the rim. Thanks!

i like the last pic (all gray with yellow brembos). the pinstripe and gray looks good but it may make the wheel look smaller. goodluck

Don't think any will look particularly good. Consider Jamaican teal over super chrome for the calipers. Looks great on silver IMO. If you must keep the stockers and coat them, I would look into a pearl silver or white.

its funny you should say that because I like white rims but anyone i talk to doesnt go for them on the silver car. I have only seen a couple apexi silver evos with white rims

Trust me man. White wheels with teal calipers will look very good on a silver car.

Yeah. Make sure it's he right teal and white. For teal, I like Jamaican teal over super chrome. And for white, ask your powdercoater for a pearl white or possibly a white flake.

White wheels are the best color for silver cars. The previous statement was said by nobody ever. White wheels are from the 90s and teal is played out. That charcoal grey will look good, though.

Yeah, listen to this guy, because NO ONE does charcoal grey wheels.....smh. Look up silver Evos with white wheels, it's a very clean look and doesn't clash. I just did my calipers shocker yellow(it's a green color) and plan doing engine bay in that scheme. For silver car...teal,orange,candy red, candy blue almost all will look good. Apart from white wheels I like colors like bronze and chromium black.
