yellow calipers (Page 1/1)
qwikgta MAR 24, 09:53 PM
(yes I know the front-end is too high, its actually the tires are to small)

So i was upgrading my pads to EBC "Green Stuff" and decided to clean and paint my calipers. I wire brushed them first and got them cleaned up and painted them aluminum color, but I didn't feel the color was right. I have silver paint on the rotors and the rims (which need to be redone) are a gunmetal color. Anyway, I remember seeing a few cars w/ yellow calipers so I decided to give it a try.





cheers.

What wheel is that and whats the sizing on them and the tires? looks like a good combo clearly larger than stock?

the size are: 17x7 front w/ 205/40 and 18x7 or 8 w/ 225/40. As for the rims, I have no idea. no name on the inside, and I can't find them on any site. I'd love to know what they are, b/c i wanted to check to see if they had a different offset for the front. They are 35mm and with an 88 they stick out too much.

I would paint them black or silver unless they are half size of wheel so each to own as most would never gone my route either.
Nice mod on brakes slotted still an upgrade.

Color choice is obviously subjective, but I'd be thinking that yellow calipers would show up brake dust rather quickly.

I guess I'm more conservative. I went with red calipers on my red Formula.
