Calipers powder coating: what color?

^ +1 on keeping them grey or black, don't really want to bring too much attention to the stock calipers. Nice wheels by the way, I almost bought the M368's in that exact finish last month. I'm assuming you're having them redrilled by a reputable shop? If you've got any questions, feel free to ask me, I researched those wheels for a couple of months.

Thanks for the inputs, yes the calipers are stock so I guess black would be a good color choice then.
I can't afford akebonos for now.
The wheels has been redrilled, the seller was able to do it (seller on myg37) I am supposed to get them Friday of next week.
It is winter here so the wheels won't be on the car before 2-3 month.
To DRIVETHEFIVE: I guess you are going staggerred?

Of your not talking about the bbk like this one. then you can keep it stock. He did it to be different which i like. Not bad i say. Who wants to look at boring colors?

But BBK would look so much better then the stock gray or even black. It's just a common color now. Electric blue w/ gold lettering is much better then stock.

Take it you got them from getyourwheels? They're great to work with. I was soooo close to buying those in the 8.5 and 9.5 staggered set up but held off for a couple of reasons. I'm very picky on what color scheme I was going with and although the gunmental essentially looks black I wanted something a little darker, a true black if you will. I also thought the polished face would be a bit too shiny for the look I was going for, I wanted more of a matte silver on my LP. Since you have an OB I think it will look perfect imo. I saw some pics of it on a black 5 series and it looked awesome. Post some pics when you get them on, can't wait to see them!
I'll post pictures for sure! I'm going staggered too!

Yes that is exact! Ordered from getyourwheels. I was first looking at vossen cv1 but convinced myself to not pay that much for rims! There is not much pictures of thoses m368 on the net. I've been looking for wheels every day since 1 1/2 month LOL.
