so im getting these wheels(down below) for my black coupe i already have the top of my headlights blacked out im putting the GTR with just reverse cut out on the tails and have tints all around. I was looking for opinions on caliper colors. Personally i think white would look really cool cause it is similar to the light silver of the rims and then the rest of the car is blacked out.

white calipers are very rarely done. They collect brake dust and will look terrible very quickly. Try a gunmetal or silver metallic color instead.

yeah i'd say something like dark silver. white would get dity the same day you clean them, so unless you like cleaning your calipers every day, you might want to avoid white.
