Depending on what color wheels you have, bronze or gold have the potential for coolness.

I think I'm going to paint mine a Ferrai Yellow intially, then eventually a purple color. No pics yet, still waiting on monies to buy TT front brakes, and LS rear brakes

i just went with gunmetal since i have a green car. painted them black first than lightly over sprayed on some silver and sanded it lightly and put on clear.

the dark green doesnt really match with the neon colors in my opinion.


ever thought about doing turquoise, teal or laguna blue?



MMMMMM

I have Black/White combo. Here's a before and after.





Black LEXUS stickers were added to the caliper after these pics were taken.
