Finally about done exams and the weather is nice.. so... its time to finally paint my rims!!

I drive an 08 Lancer GTS; electric blue.

Gonna paint the stock rims white.

Now my question for all you is...

What colour should i paint the brake calipers?

Red or Blue?

 

Red, but you should powdercoat the rims instead.

 

Blue car with red rims will look too much like spiderman. Go with blue or better yet something more subtle like black

 

I would go with black or dark grey. I personally painted mine black to make them less noticeable

 

red/blue/white color combination would be fine if you are Captain America.

If not, then i suggest you stick with 2 colors. Blue/White is usually good

 

break dust blows on white wheels :/. but it does look clean with blue

 

I personally prefer the blue calipers myself, especially on a blue car, it will really flow nicely. I painted mine blue and I have a silver car, and I love it

 

With a blue car and white rims definately blue calipers.

 

How about gold calipers? That could look cool

 

I have a blue lancer, and I bought white rims for it.... i was thinking the same question. I really wanted red calipers, but with white rims I would be driving captain america's car.

I went with blue and I am really happy with the look

 

blue ftw

 

i say bronze rims with the blue calipers

 

lol captain america comments... exactly what i was thinking too haha

the white rims are set.

the spider man comment.. i think you thought i was painting rims red? i would never do that... haha

I've been getting alot of mixed votes now...

the sticking to 2 colours crossed my mind too.. ahhhh >_< wanted to get this done this weekend but if i can't decide.. then...

 

ultimately it is your car, so it's for you to decide. The problem with asking people on a forum to decide for you is that when it comes to a matter of opinion like this you are ALWAYS gonna get mixed answers.

The best thing to do is just decide what YOU like, and if you think about it the worst thing that can happen is, you don't like the color and you re-paint them. It's not to big a deal

 

With white rims, I'd vote silver or gold. Mine are silver and it just makes the calipers look clean behind my gunmetal rims. Photoshop it before you make a decision to spend money on any color.
