Soon to be getting rear discs(thanks to TourDeForce). Was wondering what color to go with on my calipers. Car is T-Red and have stock 15" 8-spokes but am looking to go with either the silver FSVT 5-spoke or possibly the Euro 15-spoke in either the silver or dark grey. Any suggustions? I was thinking Black, Red or Silver but wondered what color would match either rim color. TIA.

I would worry about matching the car color not the rim color. On a t-red I would go with either black or red, just make sure if you do red that the red matches the red of the car. I think two different shades wouldn't look very good

Go with gloss black, that is what I did. I like this because it doesn't draw attention to the calipers and look ricey, but if people do look, they look nice and painted.

Yeah, and the black will look good with any color rim. With the red it might be hard to match body color. Doubt it will be easy to find high temp T-Red at Advance or AutoZone most will be just a bright red.

i went with black as well. understated describes it well. blends in, then you see them and its "dang, those look good!" red looks dirty most of the time unless you get in there to clean them. im hoping black doesnt show the dust nearly as much.
pics without wheel
anyway, i am really happy with them. on the front the springs (which i used a wire brush to clean up) make them stand out a little more because of the contrast between polished[ish] and black. the were not on the caliper when i took the pics because the paint was still wet.
ill get some new pics with wheels when i have new wheels on friday. oops, did i just say that

Mine are red... on my t-red.
Call me a ricer, but I like them. I am getting them powdercoated later this summer body color.

Those look nice. The drums that are on there now are black and they seem to compliment the T-Red nicely. Love your pic of the exhaust. What mufflers are those? Magnaflows?  Oh and that photochop was great!
