    Right now I just have stocks on but my local wheel shop is doing a $50 dollar promotion for all 4 so I said why not. But I'm gonna be powder coating my wheels next month to rose gold so idk what color would look nice with that. Any color opinions?

    Lolol I know they puny. I never had the thought of coating stock calipers but for $50 I'm not gonna pass it up. I think red is misleading on stocks. I was gonna say black as well but all the brake dust makes it look black already. I thought lime green

    Lime green will look ridiculous. Save for a BBK, then rock your bright flashy colors.

    what kind and size wheels do you have? mine are red with 19" peelers and i think they look pretty good, even with the stock rotors. red has sort of become standard and not too crazy.

    i think lime green is a bit too loud, unless the rest of the car suits it. what about orange or yellow, or even blue would look good i think. they can be nice and vibrant and unique, but don't look too crazy and more oem+.

    and of course you have gloss black or silver which would look good but for the more understated oem+ look.

    I might just do a 3M black or a holographic. Something that'll pop

    Black doesn't necessarily mean completely hidden. I chose black when I painted mine and they turned out great. I think they make the wheels pop more and give the car a much nicer look. You can still see the brakes but they look more "mature" if that can be a look. This is all my opinion, don't hate me for it haha.

    red way too common. go gunmetal or graphite

    also the S line decals should add stopping power.

    I didn't think of gunmetal or graphite. I was thinking of putting a smiley face.
