I agree, I like the wheels, not sure about losing the chrome trim though. Seems to me so many people are going to shadowline trim it's getting to be more unique to keep the chrome (to me the point of mods is to be distinguishable from others). Definitely paint the calipers though, they should look as good as the wheels.

I've never done that before. Is it easy to do? I'm sure there is a DIY in the forum...will do a search on it.
autobarn.com - order your caliper paint kit. it is the easiest way. its brush on, that way you dont have to take the calipers off, dont have to bleed the brakes, dont have to deal with any bullshit. Take the wheel off, clean the calipers with the cleaner that comes in the kit, shake the can of paint and brush those calipers. i just ordered mine and will get it monday of next week. if you want to wait and check my work out before you do it, you can. i bought black paint.
