Man, I cant stand fake rivots. I'd rather have stock wheels than fake rivets.

I'm not sure how, but I didn't notice the calipers.... wow... just....... wow.

That's so bad. The OP should be glad that the ugly *** wheels cover them up. Throw a five spoke or loose mesh wheel on there.... ugh. He has to repaint those things.

ya winter rims can be ugly and no one will judge haha, caliper colors that would look best imo would be black, then maybe red, not sure after that lol.

You are gonna have a hard time finding good rims for under 450 for the whole set. Could you go with under 800? Under 800 would open a lot more options up than 450. 450 gives you almost nothing good to choose from... And my advice is not to paint the calipers a flashy color. Just go with black or gray
