Anyone would paint it colour other than red? Red Caliper is nice but I am sure painting it look good enough

Does P-Rock means painted wheels or caliper?

I thought his rims look a tat darker than normal.

Every one calls me P-rock P stands for my first name Patrick. I like to do things that are different, you see people paint there wheels flat black, why not a cool cobra R with a red pearl like these. If you look close the front emblems are shaved as well as the back ones. I got my wing in today and it is being painted with a red pearl clear coat. It's a carbon fiber 3d arospeed wing, looks tight and it surves a perpose for down force.

35 bucks each wheel 140 total, 300 for shaveing the emblems and repainting the trunk and front bumper, 400 for the wing painting it and install, so it cost total off 840 plus
