But I want to do

GREEN
YELLOW
or WHITE

I'm going to have black rims with a silver lip put on. When I do, I'd figure I'd paint
em. When the temp warms up a little.. (the plan)

I am about to do this too. I think i am either gonna paint them white or blue but i guess this is personal preference. But i think that those would look the best.

i had white at first, but that got dirty very very fast!! so after painting it white twice, i decided to paint them black and it never looks dirty.
just sharing my experience with you, but i agree, white looks the best!

YOU should do PINK CALIPERS
White calipers will look awful quickly unless you use a clean metallic pad...

I just talked to a guy today at Checker Auto Parts who did his in white. He said they looked great until he drove the car for a week. He also said he spent a ton of time trying to keep them clean and never got them to look as great as they did on that first day "They always looked nasty". From his mistake we could learn... But where is the fun in that.

Why'd you have to go and say that, I was thinking that too when I thought.... Ask an opinion post. But then I was like I'm only want to do this once, (twice if I just F them up somehow)

But seeing how "They always looked nasty" And I'm a $2 dollar car wash kinda guy for the most part. WHITE is now X'ed of the list, don't need to redo something three times to get the best match.

But Great input/save! :clap:

Id say go black. They will almost disappear behind the wheels and give it a very clean look. In my experience the best colors for calipers are the primary colors (red, yellow, blue) silver and black. I look at calipers all day long in person, emails and magazines and I havent seen any other colors that look right. If you want them to be noticeable behind the black wheels something with a lot of contrast will be best which pretty much leaves red or yellow.

Nice! What kind of slotted disks are those?
The only exception to your statement above is gold. Gold looks great on some cars/bikes. :)

StopTech big brake kit...13" rotor and 4 piston caliper. We offer gold calipers too, but I dont really like it...plus it looks the competion's calipers

So is primary it........... the way to go? What, anyone have some neons......like em still? What colors..........not brake kits

Is green a primary color?

Go with black. Would look really sharp on SW. It'll have that stealth look.

i would vote black, i am considering doing mine black.........but id rather get the stoptech stage 2 kit then do it.

BTW< how much is the BBK you have on your Tc?

thats sick w/ the black, but id go with gloss red

I know that some people on here are gonna laugh at me because i painted my stock calipers, but thats just till i get enough money to get upgraded ones. I painted mine blue, in a couple of days i will have pictures.

I know that they are not black rims, but i think they look good anyway

Get them chrome plated or wrap them in CF...or do one side each way...or do one red, one blue, a yellow and a green...it'd be super cool—no one else would have anything like it...oh, sorry....
Its early and I forgot that it doesn't matter to me what color stock calipers are.

I'd go with silver, it'll compliment black and white nicely. And it won't show the dirt as badly as other colors.

^^^^ you know what. I like I said, I was going
1.green
2.yellow
3. of something?

But I just say this pic of a car in motion with the wheels blurred
and in the blurryness of silver, it came to me "silver"
Cause the black rims will sort of disappear with the spin
and The silver lip and the (repainted 1.choice) silver on
the caliper will be constant, show and match.

So 8 days later now I think silver has moved up the list
Some colors maybe better for sitting still and other for motion?
I don't know, can't make up the best match yet.

I dont have any pics of silver calipers with black rims, but I can offer this:
