those new Lancers look good IMO. I would just leave the calipers though. painted stockers look trashy to me. but its your ride, so do what you like.

To me, red really stands out against white, but looks good. I thought about gettin red rota gt3's on my OZ.

I dont like them painted.......but the gold looks nice on your car.

Nice Photoshops BTW. I love the wingless look....and the 3 inch drop lol. Reminds me of a new BMW.

The car looks so nice the way you have it photoshoped. Paint them gold if you really want to paint them.

I agree with ThunderOZRacer. You see red calipers all the time. Of those two I would pick the gold. I always liked blue calipers with white paint though.
