gunmetal would look better imo
I don't have color preference at all. Just throw something together for me if you don't mind? I want to see how different colors look on stock wheels.

Crap...you wanted that same exact rim....my bad. At least you can get an idea of what black looks like. Sorry for the poor photoshop...did it at work in about 5 minutes.

I'd consider painting your brakes up as well. Makes a HUGE difference

Yes, i used Dupicolor caliper paint I got at autozone. I took the rotors off the car, cleaned with brake fluid and then masked off the area the pad contacts and painted with a few coats. Originally Posted by MichaelMarshall

I did the caliper braket off the car, and then bagged everything so i could paint the caliper attached to the car. Then i put it all back together and it looks like the pic.
It holds up fine for daily driving. I don't race this car, but i have braked aggressively and it has not blistered or bubbled. Been on 6 months and still looks like above.

infiniti decals would finish off the look on the calipers

Not really my style. I prefer the clean stock subtle look.
I actually like my stock 17's too. I still want a set of OEM 18's or 19's though

Is that LS or EM? I'm can't really tell from those shots. Maybe it's the reflection of the grass? (or maybe it's that last Long Island
)
)Thanks guys. I like the gunmetal look. Maybe I'll paint them. I'm eyeing some TSW wheels for next summer and keep these as winter wheels. I will be painting my callipers either black or silver. I just got drilled and slotted rotors installed (not in the above pics obviously).
About the decals for calipers, where can I get them? I like how infiniti decal looks. I have really looked but I thought I ask.
