Of course I see the calipers, I just meant that isn't what you notice when you look at the car (some might) but calipers, IMO, are anonymous enough where they don't affect the overall appearance of the car.



I hope you like it. At least it's reversible, right? No commitment

yes, its reversible, its vinyl tape pretty much, but its very thin.

im still confused how u cant not notice big red shiny red brakes behind a black wheel, it should pretty much pop out at you. at least thats what i see as soon as i see the wheel, not just mine, but just ingeneral

Your car/wheel looks great together!

But, honestly it looks too much like the old bias belted red wall tires of years gone by (even though its on the rim)

If this is the "new" style...well, I'm going have to sit on the fence.

I am looking at the appearance as a whole. By itself, the wheel looks good, but when you look at it on the whole car, it's not as prominent. (the calipers)





SEA GREEN STRIPES.

I actually kind of like it with the red even though I don't really like black wheels. Then again maybe it's a flashback to my hotwheels days. Stick with it for a while to see if you like it.

LOL, the funny thing is that with the green stripes, the red calipers really do stand out.



Keep it till you get tired of it, I suppose. I don't have a better solution.
