Default Which color?

I picked up a set of Stoptech BBK's from my buddy however the calipers are black. I figure with my black gloss wheels the black calipers will blend in too much. I know most people will do the typical red or yellow color which would look good on a white car. I also was thinking of going white until I really thought about how often I'd have to clean them. So which color would you pick, white, red, yellow or blue. Let me know. Thanks.

Red or Yellow will look good on black, but I am more leaning toward the Red. GL bro

That's a tough one!
I voted blue, but I fear that you'll need to do one caliper in each colour just to check 😀

I did mine blue, so they didn't really have any improvement over OEM silver. If I redo mine i will go Red.

Yellow would be nice. My buddy just installed a new set of Stoptech Trophy BBK with gold calipers and they looked sharp.

Damn decisions decisions.

blue for sure.

yellow? red? I think that market has been cornered by the Honda EK9 crowd. I see a lot of ketchup and mustard condiment trays rolling down the road.

It's a BMW; keep it classy

just my $.02.
