Marylander Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Is red too obnoxious? Yellow too lame? Black too subtle? I just want to give the wheels a little elegance without being ricey. What color would you do? the car in question: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11chevz71 Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I would paint them black or a nice gray. I am planning on painting mine soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Hmmm, just voted Red, but now that Chris pointed it out, BLUE!! Also, are you going to swap out the rims Rich? Stock rims don't show much caliper, and maybe black will do the trick?? I want a TDI!!!! BTW, I love this statistic: 78 percent of all statistics you see on the internet are made up :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundog Detailing Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I voted Black, unless you have some high performance brakes on it I think it will make it look ricey and cheap with a bright color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonicHD Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I say silver. Red and yellow will look funny with that car/color combo. Black is subtle, but would look good, Blue wouldnt be bad, but I think silver would look good, the calipers would look new, it would still be noticeable and the color would go with the car well.

JJ1o87 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Well I voted red - but this is because the calipers in the gti are red as well and aren't "obnoxious" to me. But then again sone people say I'm obnoxious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marylander Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 Well, thanks for all the ideas, guys. I ended up doing them in black -- I decided to keep the "under the radar" look going. I'll post pics soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
