Default white rims with black calipers?

that's not my ride, but that's the plan...

my rims are only 15 inch but they're enkei's with a lot of spokes, so the calipers/drums will show really well

i really like the white rims with black cars like that, but then i wasn't really sure what to do the calipers/drums...

throw out some suggestions... i want to go with a dark color, i'm not doing lime green or any of that ****...
i'm leaning towards black calipers...

i would go with red calipers. they would stick out more than black. i dont think you would even be able to notice black, especially at night, unless you were lookin for them. lol. thats jus me. check this out.

but everyone has a black car with red calipers.... like everyone,
but with white rims, i think the black would stand out enough...

if i were to do red, it'd be dark red

im a fan of blacken em out.....


i hate colored calipers........
now maybe if you had some realy nice BIG BRAKE setup it might look ok..... BUT for stock small stuff i just black em out...
and when i did the calipers i also did the rotors as well

any part that was rusted and not contacted with the pads i brushed em and cleaned em and painted em black


but its your ride... what do you like?

ive always said... go with what YOU LIKE... its your ride make it your own! dont just do something that everyone tells you to do!


i like to keep it clean basicaly....


but as soon as i get my tax check ill be swaping my chrome rims to some black/polished lip 17s....

DONT put flashy colors on stock calipers. Ya that pic of the red brake looks amazing but thos are really expensive brakes that you want people to see. Not little honda brakes...paint them black so it looks sleek and clean

i'm not doing this too do what everyone tells me too...

i like the black calipers, but there's things that other people have seen that i haven't...
