Caliper Color and Wheel Combination
#19
there is absolutely no reason to show off OEM (non-Brembo, non-Akebono) calipers... not even with silver (especial not silver actually)... the idea (imo) is to hide the puny brakes, not hi-light them... painting them a bright color looks like you are trying to show them off - which looks silly..
Blsack is the only color I would paint OEMs

Here is the picture I originally got the idea of two tone. The reason I thought the yellow wouldn't look that bad is the picture duplicolor has on their website shows something very similar to stock calipers (two piece with the bar that wraps the caliper). I think the G35 front calipers actually are bigger then this picture.

I just bought a few different colors and can always repaint if it looks awful.
Second, if I do end up with BBK. Does anyone know if these fit the stock 17" wheels until I get the bigger wheels I am looking at?
