Default What do you suggest?

Ive got a 2003 WRX in WR Blue and will shortly be fitting a set of 18" Rota GRA (tarmac 2) rims in gunmetal.

I have thought about painting my brake calipers blue, yellow, gold, red, white etc etc (not like a rainbow) but can't decide which colour to go for?

What do you think would look good with the blue car and the (almost) black rims?

Look forward to your input

Cheers

I've always been tempted to paint mine mica blue with white subaru writing on the calipers. I've seen it on one and it looks superb.

I personally would go for black, purely from a "can't be arsed to clean calipers" perspective

Black wheels and red calipers always look good IMHO.

Just wish I could make up my mind what colour 18" Rota's I want on my silver WRX, not sure black would work

I've got a WR Blue bugeye WRX and have also just fitted 18" gunmetal Rota GRA's and I think they look superb!!

I did think about painting my calipers blue with white writing but have decided on red with white writing (I've already bought the paint, just need some decent weather .

(crap) pics of gunmetal GRA's on blue WRX.

Nice, can I ask what tyres you have on there? e.g. Make and size?

Cheers
