Default White or Black

Black on White, or White on White

Once the winter gets here, the performance mods on my Camaro will come to a halt, leaving me time to focus on my cars exterior.

I've decided to keep my Salad Shooters. I feel keeping them is actually less cliche than getting new rims, like Cragers, etc

I have acquired red brake caliper paint, and should be removing and painting my calipers tomorrow with the assistance of my Father.

So, my car has a white paint job, and I'm not sure if I should go with having my wheels powder coated black or powder coated white?

I am tempted to go with black and have a black theme done on the car.
(Black interior, maybe some black stripes later down the road to make the car stand out at shows)

So please, tell me what you guys think.

I hope this doesn't sound retarded..
Also, picture of why I am having my wheels redone.


Supposedly, it's brake dust.

I kinda like the idea of black wheels with red calipers, but I'm a little worried what that'll look like with a white paintjob. Especially since I may have to spraybomb the centerpieces O_O

Oh well, I'll take a chance.

Yea I can understand. I have black rims, red calipers, the engine bay and components are red and black and the inside is red and black. I'm not sure what color to paint the car either. I think painting it red and black would be too much. Maybe agold or smoke grey?

Black but leave the outside ring where the wheel weight is unpainted and polish it up.

I can't imagine what brake dust would look like on white wheels!

Well they're fixed now.
The guy had that brake replaced, but the other side is still factory.
We painted the calipers yesterday and checked it out..

I guess he is telling you that the white and blue running shoes will look better than the wheels!
