Aftermarket break options

I have a 2005 545. I am looking to get some rims, proably the time attacks. However I dont wont to get nice rims and have those ugly calipers showing. I dont have enough money to get the Brembo Big Brake kit. What are other good options for whole break kits that come with colored calipers?

Your best bet would be to paint the calipers and rotor centers a color of your choice rather then replacing them. I actually don't even know if anyone sells painted calipers. If they did, I would imagine it to be expensive as well.

+1 for taking the time to paint the calipers your self...there have been a few recent posts about it...a quick search will get you the info you need. A few cans of caliper paint, or even BBQ paint will do the job....

If you don't want to spend big bucks on calipers/rotors go with drilled/slotted rotors with axxis deluxe pads. I can get the set for $500 shipped. I do have them in stock as well.
