What do you guys think would pop better on a SGM? Red or custom blue that matches the F badge with white brembo lettering.

I definitely think red would "pop" or stand out more because it's a brighter color. The blue will be a bit more subdued. Next time I do mine I'll be going with F blue.

Hyboost, did you have them professionally done or were you able to source that paint code in a can? Looks nice.

I might be going that route as well. I think I'll end up with brushed candy red wheels again, because it's my trademark lol, so need a color that will contrast ok. Think USB calipers behind red wheels will work. Otherwise I may just send them out to get this done.

Did you get it from Automotivetouchup? I ordered the same exact color from them on 9/12, but haven't received any sort of shipping notice yet.

I had them professionally done by a great body shop that does all the work on my cars.
The actual paint code is Porsche Guards Red LM3A

Pics of paint process...
