Stevo Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Well, I've got all the callipers cleaned up and ready for painting but still can't decide on a colour. Original idea was yellow with black lettering (inspired by the black lamborghini on the HRE Wheels Home page). However, starting to think this may be too showy and possibly even look like wheel clamps or something! Next in line is a blue with white lettering. By the way, its a black car and theyr'e going to be behind Ultralite Daiki's with black spokes. What do you think - yellow or blue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 Just wanted to be a bit different from the red though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 Had considered black but on a black car, behind a black wheel I just fancied more of a contrast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Depends on your car and wheels to be honest. I have gold on my dark blue car, that goes very well. But i had yellow on my silver one (red is too much on a silver car) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 That black looks great, very subtle. I think u might have just changed my choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra786 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 On a black car, in my opinion I would go with the yellow, should look nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 For this that haven't seen it, have a look at the black lambo with the yellow calipers on the HRE site (course they're a bit bigger than mine!) http://www.hrewheels.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxluc Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 On a black car, in my opinion I would go with the yellow, should look nice. I agree. A friend of mine got his F430 Scuderia some months back ... black body with yellow calipers ... looks tremendous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesC Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Actually it depends what brakes you have. If you have some nice big, sexy brakes go for a Red. If you have J-spec calipers like me, go for the Black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl0s Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Depends on car and rim colour really. Here's my old blue one with yellow calipers: http://www.css-networks.com/oops/images/dsc00037.jpg and here's my current gunmetal one with red calipers: http://www.css-networks.com/gunmetal2.jpg I think the blue one looks better, with the yellow calipers, but then it had only just been waxed and polished, and it was lowered, but it looked horrible most of the time because dirt showed up badly.

Stevo Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 Decided to stick with yellow - pleased with how they came out and should look good behind my new set of black spoked wheels when I get them in a week or so. Hope to get these on the car next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
