I love the yellow calipers. Have you considered going with a polished lip? The reason I'm not a fan of black wheels is you can't differentiate between the wheel and tire. I love the look of a low profile tire and an all black wheel gives the illusion of too much tire, not enough wheel. The strip helps, but I think a silver polished lip would work well with the silver corners and side lights, IMHO.

The polished lip delineates the wheel from the tire:

Yea I'm not a fan of black rims either. But I think those yellow calipers look sharp!

very nice Djomlas


Yellow and black are the only way to go, although a bright blue might go nicely with your color car... hmmm or maybe white w/ greenish porsche stickers. But the yellow works!

Sweeetttt Yellowwww is the way to go. I love yellow calipers. I'm gonna re-paint mine next week. I bought Grey decals to put on. So i thought i'd give the calipers a fresh coat of YELLOW paint.

Sweet kar dj!
