I had black but that was when the wheels were on my M3 which was Jet Black
On my E60 I changed to roundels for a while
But I switched to red this year
Even though I don't have red calipers I think they match the tail lights which you can see from the side of the car

I vote for Black because I like the clean classic look of LMs. Red if you really want it to stand out but you'll want red calipers to match em. Lookin' good bro. Can't wait to see them in person. Hit me up once they're installed.

Only bad thing about replicas is they weigh a friggen TON and crack. So basically, your car's handling, braking, and accel is slower.

I've always loved the red BBS center caps and I'm actually thinking of having my Neez center caps painted the same way; especially since I have red Brembos.
i want to have my calipers painted but i have no clue if they will come out good. 88rotors has a great kit i just dont know how difficult it is to remove them and have them painted

I think the red caps against any dark color will look nice. My last E46 was Jet Black and the red caps made the wheels go from shouting to screaming (in a good way). I got a lot of looks of jealously and praise.
