I picked up my new black KMC Slides Monday, and putting on Nitto 420s tires in a 305/45/22...so having them mounted and balanced tomorrow. So will come into my shop and work on installing them Saturday. I want to pull the factory wheels off, and paint all the brake rotors (where possible) gloss back, and all suspension that will be seen. Now, do i paint calipers red, or gloss black?

See I like red if you have something to show. Like some big calipers. I don't think the stock calipers are really anything to show off so that is why I would paint them black. Are you going to go for the storm trooper look (black and white)? If so I think the red would look out of place.

I was just thinking how it would break up all the black. Like the white/black and red add's contrast.
