Anyways I'm getting Focal F16's in 17 x 7.5 I was supposed to get them on today but the shop forgot to order wheel spacers so I'll likely get them on Friday. anyways I was wondering what color should I paint my calipers I was thinking Red so that everything would match up, I was also thinking Black would be nice too if not a simple Grey.

Red would look sweet, just make sure its matched to the color of the rim and the car. I saw a maserati the other day, red with red rims and red calipers, omfg hottest car I ever saw.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I really like them

On a red car I would do red calipers with black brackets, which is exactly what I have right now

Ha Ha Ha That is the sweetest ricer mod out there but no I'll stick to paint then I'll do the Vette brake conversion sometime down the road my biggest issue is I have drum brakes in the back, I would rather have disc's in the back and finding a winter rim that is big enough to fit with the Vette brakes.

those are nice, I wanted to get the TSW Trackstar 5 but none of the shops around here would order them for me so I took the next best thing I could find. I'm not too big on buying larger items of the net there are somethings I will, but wheels and tires are too large.

there is not a very big selection of wheels in 20", they are usually too wide for an alero. i think 17" is as big as this brand of wheel goes, same thing with those konigs i posted.

looks good. wonder how it looks on silver car. :ninja:

bigger is normally heavier, they look small because the over all tire size is the same as stock but lower profile cause I didn't want my speedometer and odometer to be all un-calibrated. I think those konigs would look sweet on a silver car but you gotta do your interior with a little bit of red to get the red to go with the car.

ehhh windows are tinted, i like the interior as is. i do have black and red pedals and floor mats though lol

my paint isnt in the best shape so i might even have it stripped and primered black, not sure yet.

each to there own there's nothing wrong with the red but I think it adds to the look.

No way those are 17s. They don't look it at all. Take a tape measure and take a pic.
