wheels
Anyways I'm getting Focal F16's in 17 x 7.5 I was supposed to get them on today but the shop forgot to order wheel spacers so I'll likely get them on Friday. anyways I was wondering what color should I paint my calipers I was thinking Red so that everything would match up, I was also thinking Black would be nice too if not a simple Grey.

Red would look sweet, just make sure its matched to the color of the rim and the car. I saw a maserati the other day, red with red rims and red calipers, omfg hottest car I ever saw.

Ha Ha Ha That is the sweetest ricer mod out there but no I'll stick to paint then I'll do the Vette brake conversion sometime down the road my biggest issue is I have drum brakes in the back, I would rather have disc's in the back and finding a winter rim that is big enough to fit with the Vette brakes.
