Entertaining the idea of paint my brake calipers... Since i put my stock wheels, back on (forgot how much the calipers show with them) i wanna do something with them.

So that leaves me tryin to decide on a color lol... Im really leaning white since everything on er is either white or black, wat do yall think???

I feel like white would get real dirty, real fast.


I've toyed with the idea of painting mine as well, which is silly because you can barely see them behind my wagon wheels - but in your case, where you can see them through the spokes, some color might be nice.

On my todo list at some point. Worth it? It's a little bling that most Xers don't do. I've got a color from here but haven't used any yet.

Ive thought about this but my stock wheels cover it up to much and I don't know about yall but my front rims get so dirty so fast from brake dust its not even funny...thats part of the reason I painted my rims. If you can see then thru your rims...go for it!

we usually use a high temp cast iron color paint. It protects great, but isn't too flashy and ricer looking.

The more i look at, the more i decide against the white. i think it would look cool but i do wheel it so I guess white is off the table... Maybe that color creepy is talking about or may just paint em black. either way I don't like the rust color they have going on lol

its no wear near as flashy as you would think. it just looks like you spent a little time cleaning your car up and or have a nice break set up. change is usually good especially when you go from turd rust to a set color
