I'd say leave the calipers or paint them black... right now it matches the rims, and there is the blue strip on the rim that match the car... blue calipers would draw a little attention away from the sexy rims

Not bad, as long as your are cutting weight and not adding. They look great...when it's my turn I'll a requirement will have to be that they are lighter than stock.

 

That first picture is beautiful. I really don't want to spend $4 g's on the MS kit, but the more I see pictures like these, the more I want it.

 

I was thinking after looking at the pictures to mentoin that you *should* paint your calipers. I think it would look great will match that sweet *** stripe. Car looks hawt!

 

Hey are you making fun of my calipers? Ha ha ... just don't pick the same color blue as mine. Blue on blue looks great but I've seen some guy (also in calgary) with gunmetal rims and red calipers --> pretty sweet.

Great looking wheels. Look forward to seeing it at our next meet.

 

nice looking 8. Love the rims and blue insert.

 

Looks damn good dude.

 

nice rims, i'd love that style in bronze on my blue 8

 

Loser Blue FTW!!
Looks good

 

SICK!

WB wasn't my thing at first, but it has totally changed my opinion now that i've been looking at it for a year, it is such a bad *** color and those rims are perfect!

 

The rims look great! Thank you for the pictures.

 

Sorry to bust your bubble, but thats the ugliest set of rims I've ever seen. Looks like the rims are covered in brake dust and haven't been washed in years. But if you like them thats all that matters. You only have to please yourself.

 

uhh, looks good to me...what kind of rims you got?

 

^^ Don't pick on him, they just might not have any gunmetal rims where ever George lives...

 

I think this explains it all

 

the ms kit looks really nice on the blue w/ those wheels.

 

I think the dark "gun metal" look is one of those looks where "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". I ended up with the wheels below for my winter tires. They were not my first choice, but were the only thing available buy the time I made up my mind to get them last winter.

At first, I didn't know if I really liked them. But, as time passed, they kind of grew on me. It's like two different personalities. The winter wheels are the dark, sinister version, and the summer - stock wheels are the bright , happy personality. (How's that for some wierd physolicical evaluation of automobile wheels!!! )

Anyway, I was glad to get my summer wheels back on a couple weeks ago, but also look forward to changing the look when Winter comes back in about five weeks (I live in Wisconsin remember!! )

As for the calipers, I thought when I saw your pics " Wow , they would look even better with painted calipers." But, IMO, you should try to find caliper paint that is a very close match to your '8 body color. To have calipers with a color different than your car and wheel stripe, that is, three different shades of blue, might look a bit strange. But, I think painted calipers would look great..

 

^ Yep. Having gunmetal or any other color rims are like having another personality for the car. It's good to switch it up every 6 months (in Canada).

 

hahahaha

 

Wow, seeing those pics of your blue makes me wonder if black was really the right way to go. I think the darker color makes the whole car look mean. Bronze work emotion rims for me this summer if I can save up the money...

 

Here is a bad PS of what the calipers might look like in blue. I say leave them as is. I tinted your windows and shaved your door handles for you as well.

 

yeah all i can say is damn that is a gorgeous setup
i love those wheels i may have to look into them. not trying to rob your style thwy may be going on a BB car. but you know what they say immitation is the most sincere form of flattery. but like i said i'll check em out

 

YOU DISGUST ME, I LOVE IT! I wonder how it looks on Ti Gray...

 

That's awesome man, thanks!!

 

Sorry for the delay, here are the specs:

Front: 18 x 8 +50
Rear: 18 x 9 +42

Don't know the weight... but they feel a bit lighter than stock.
