My Ride: I have a 2007 Black Sapphire BMW 530i with SMG. It has the auburn interior, has PDC, Sports Package, Premium Package, rear automatic sunshades with manual side sunshades, 35% black tint, Upgraded angeleyes from Angelibrights, and Logic 7 Sound System
Model Year: 2007

So, I have the 20 inch miro time attacks on my 530i sport. Long story short, my rims got curbed really bad. I want to get them powdercoated again, but i was wondering...what if instead of the red lip, I painted the lip yellow and powdercoated the calipers yellow also? I am just looking for opinions, or if anybody can do a quick photoshop. i have a 2007 530i sapphire black with auburn interior.

Thank You

Since I hate the red stripe on the time attack wheels I would suggest making that stripe a gunmetal silver color. Then, I would say for your calipers keep them a silver color. Don't, I repeat, DON'T make your OEM small brakes out to be something they are not. Keep it sporty, clean, and classy. Remember you have a 530, not an M5, or even a 545, (which has bigger brakes than our car).

I hate to put it this way but don't make your car out to be some ghetto-ass hooptie driven by one of those retard kids you see with a hood on while driving, chino glasses, and a friggen raiders hat on that has "THUG LIFE" etched into the front. Keep it BMW. KEEP IT REALLLLLLLLLL. =P

This can actually work well if you have similar colored brakes on the car. I remember an E92 with a green pin stripe and green brakes, it worked with his overall theme but the car was aggressively modded.

yellow :thumbsdown:

i think if you paint the brakes yellow and do a theme then it could be cool. but just yellow stripes on that car above looks like garbage. once again its all opinion. if you like it, do it.

I'd say go for it. Something different. I think it would look good.
