Re: black rims, red calipers?!
Trunklid/spoiler color throws it off for me.

Re: black rims, red calipers?!
Yes a black spoiler would look better ... Or the original all red , but the black spoiler would be easier and less expensive

Re: black rims, red calipers?!
The stock rims cover the calipers pretty well, so all that work painting the calipers would be for very little dramatic effect. Also, imo the stock calipers aren't anything to accent or bring attention too. They aren't like the nice smooth etc brembos or stop tech type calipers. Also, i agree with the others, simply paint the spoiler. The black/red combo is one of the best

Are you asking if black rims would look good on a red SVX? Are you wanting to paint the stock wheels black, or buy a new set of wheels? |

maybe even some gold wrx ones painted black!:D |
Re: black rims, red calipers?!
What about saving some money & placing the rims the correct way around - you may like the "new" look better without spending any money?
Sorry - just having a blonde moment ha! ha! |
Re: black rims, red calipers?!
Black wheels with a polished silver lip would look great on your car. I would also paint the spoiler black, or just buy another one that is already black and put it on.

#1, that wing needs to be black.
#2, You won't even notice the painted calipers with the stock wheels, you need to have a more open wheel if you gonna bother with that. Here is a few pics of some red svx with red painted calipers on open wheels: http://www.subaru-svx.net/photos/fil...etkd/23719.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~thomasck/SVX19-4.JPG Here is a photochop of some black wheels on a red&black svx: http://i923.photobucket.com/albums/a...chopwheels.jpg Here is a photochop of my wheels on a black/red svx: http://i923.photobucket.com/albums/a...wheelscopy.jpg |
