Painting the stock rims and break calliper and wheels
 

can anyone suggest what will loo good on my winning blue rx-8, pics attached

blue calliper with matt bronze rim color or gunmetal color , i am planning to put blue lug nuts also

would red or yellow calliper look good ?

welcome any suggestions !

imo Gunmetal wheels and i think that red calipers would look better then yellow

Edit: and blue lugs would look cool too. =)

I have blue calipers on my WB

I used duplicolor (or dupilcolor?) blue caliper paint. Used the same paint color on my engine cover and front strut bar.

I would highly suggest a brush on paint, spray painting the calipers is a PITA

i'd do blue calipers and gunmetal wheels. the bronze looks okay if you go aftermarket but i think it would be too much if you're planning on powdercoating the stockers. i'm not a fan of red calipers and don't think i could imagine yellow on anything but LY.

Why would you want to break your calipers and wheels?

ehh, idk if painting is a good idea.

Gunmetal and a black caliper would be my pick

Nothing wrong with painting

i have a WB RX8 and painted red calipers

they look pretty good, since they stand out. blue on the other hand looks a bit bland.

Save the money and go for spelling, grammar, and punctuation lessons? :uhh:

Sorry, couldn't resist!


Honestly, the only thing that you might want to really paint would be the calipers. If you paint the rims, it will eventually look all jacked up!

yeah i have same color. but i want to get some fins on my 8. what do you guys think? blue or black?

you could powered coat them, but then again, it would be best to save the money for some aftermarket rims

what fins are you talking about?

are you talking about canards or those "vortex generators" that you see on Evos?
or maybe your talking about "side strakes" that go over the fender vents.
in my opinion go with none of them, kinda ricey / tacky

side vents. i think they look great. but thats just my opinion.

I vote blue calipers with WHITE rims, yesss WHITE :) it would look so clean.
