Re: black rims, red calipers?!

I do like that second pic, with the black centres and the silver rims. My mechanic has been suggesting that; now I can see why.

#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:
#1 in progress
#2 that's actually what i want..don't want it to look douchy...just a subtle red caliper look to it
and the second one is my new goal

Re: black rims, red calipers?!

Yes you can see red calipers through the stock wheels, it looks alrite when its rolling.

I think they look much better than rust, and cost 1500 less then brembos.

I dont have a good pictures, sadly, ill take a good one tomorrow, I head to work when its dark, and dont get back till its dark, so its hard!
my old fliphone camera is awful. sorry!



Washed her last week



before they went on, the beloved quick in the background.



yeah, I left them on the car... lol




The Continental extreme contact DWS are amazing tires, finally got them in the snow the other day!
the tire machine kinda scratched a silver lip on them all, looks better in my opinion, theyve seen alot of rock chips,
I drive her hard in the dirt as often as i can

Oh yea,


The top panel looks awesome in red....



enjoy! maybe ill even get a video of the wheels in motion to see them

Sorry guys but red calipers? Ladies of the night underwear/teenage fad only. Your SVX deserves something classier than that.
