What color do you guys think I should paint my calipers? Right now I'm considering red, white, or black. The picture kinda sucks but I just took a quick one from my apartment window.

the blue with white, or white because of the stipes, I don't see any other red on the car so it would look like an after thought (matching always looks better)

I agree with the matching thing. You could go really wild and do white with blue letters but i bet those would dirty up real quick.

My only concern with going with the blue would be matching the caliper color to that of the car if I could find one that matched I'd do that for sure. I was considering red because I want it to show up. I was also considering white because of the stripes, but as someone said they would probably get kinda dirty. But I am going to use ceramic pads and those don't give off to much dust. Where can I get the letters for the calipers? The only ones I've seen are chrome on E bay.

The rims are 18 inch American Racing Rebels. 18x9 front and 18x10 rear. 245/40-18 front, 275/35 18 rear Toyo Proxes T1-R.

2k2 Camaro: No they don't rub, I was posting in the thread of yours that was saying you got an alignment and they screwed it up and they rub more. I hane about 3 millimeters of clearance though. I think that it is because different tire manufacturers have different tire diameters even though the are all labeled 245/40 18, I noticed that when I was researching tires. What type of tires do you have?
