i still want the caliper to stand out. i think the black will hide it. does anyone agree red shouldnt go with the orient blue? im leaning more towards silver but i'll have my 166s and i believe there wont be a transition in color.

Ok guys, i still don't have a final vote. well since i already have the red paint, i might just paint them red. what do you guys think? does it look weird with the orient blau? my second choice is silver.

I did mine in gold, to match my gold valve stem covers. It doesn't stand out like I want it to so I'm going to get them repainted in a different shade of gold next week.
Sorry about the pictures ........ the wheels are getting cleaned next week. Will post the newer pictures soon.
