Looking to have my calipers painted - either black or red.

What is your recommendation?

Red is nice and safe. No one will say, "yuck, red calipers?!" black, imo is overkill with your set up, why bother? Want to be unique? How about yellow or maybe blue?

Definitely pick a color that will contrast with your wheels to showcase those calipers. Red, or yellow, or gray/silver would work well. Black would just be lost.

Love my yellow calipers. I think they made my black wheels pop more as well. Red might do the same, but everyone has red.

Your options are basically unlimited. But since you are dark wheels and have the supercharged badge. I would go red or silver. I went red with silver Quattro sticker.

I have C7 “Competition Package” with red calipers straight from Audi. Looks kinda cool.

silver and black are always safe, if just a bit understated.

Had trouble loading this file. Anyway, this is STOCK competition package red painted caliper behind OZ Ultraleggera during install. Excuse the sand and salt; it had been snowing just prior to the picture being taken. I have since inserted black caps over the lugs... I like that look better, but that's a personal choice. Red lugs might look cool...

Red or yellow is always safe. Other colors only look right on specific cars.

awesome y’all - do you know the measurement of the place you put the sticker on? Going to cut my own vinyl and probably go with the Audi rings
