Your rims look real nice. I wish my FSVT's shined like that

On the other hand, not all silver.. black w/ silver should look real good.

Or even more subtle with green brackets and black calipers.

Silver all the way!!!

It will look clean. You don't want it to look like fake aftermaket ones!!

Silver makes them look good IMHO.

if your doing body color make sure its an exact match.

I vote for silver or black also.

Why not post a side picture so we can photoshop them

Just get a white primer and paint it using Dupicolor, dosent need to be EXACTLY the same shade, but close would rock.

My calipers are T-red and i think it looks killer.

Why? That shot was 3 months after paint, so they're dirty.

Ok so i think im just going to go with the black brackets and silver calipers, might as well mix it up. I can always repaint if i dont like them. Im not to crazy about doing them body color, plus its to hard to match.

Not to hijack the thread (but I guess I am huh?) I'm thinkin maybe I need some more sidewall, whattya all think?

Here's what I did for another feller a while back for a CSVT. I colored the front calipers a bunch of different colors so you can see more-or-less how it'll look with the rest of the car. Although it's obviously not a Focus, it'll give you some idea.

Black:


Green:


Red:


Yellow:


Silver:





BTW-MSPaint FTW.
