Hey guys,

Need your help! I have a white '91 TT, just bought some TSW Nurburgring matte bronze wheels but unsure what color to powdercoat the calipers. I've added a rough sketch of how the car will look with the wheels

What colors do you guys think?

Red, Black, Gold, another color?

I like the gold, but that might not go well with the bronze rims. Im thinking Red or Yellow. Possibly an Orange? Copper? well Copper may have the same issue with the rims as gold.... Heck, just do one caliper in each color and see which one you like best! :)

Yea I have brembos on my SE/R. When I had bronze rims the colors just didnt jive together. darkened up the rims a tad and it went much better.

With a white car on those wheels, my vote is red.

I'm more of a fan of simple taste, so I'd go with a custom job. Black paint, sand the "Nissan" down to where the silver is showing, then clear coat the whole ordeal.

IMO opinion with white exterior and matte wheels, I think Goldie Hawn or Bronze..... would be a great contrast.
