What color to paint calipers/hubs??? Silver or Black?

No worries, I'm not considering red for my stock calipers. As of now, I had planned on doing silver on both my hubs and calipers but I've seen others go with black on hubs which looked good as well. What do you guys think? Silver, Gloss Black?

I have a TiAg coupe with matte black wheels fwiw...

Silver would be my choice for some contrast behind the wheels. Red is also another option although more aggressive.

thanks i'll probably go with silver. red is nice but seems silly on the tiny stock calipers. even the stock calipers on 1/335i are a nice size but even mine don't come close to that.

Normally I'd say black. But I have to agree that the contrast with silver should look better.

Both.
I'd say black on the hubs and silver on the calipers.

Black hubs and silver calipers -

Did you need 20mm spacers on the rear w/the Ultraleggeras? Any spacers on the front? If spacers were needed on the rear, did you use 20mm longer bolts? It looks like you purchased black bolts - did you purchase from Turner Motorsport??

since i'm driving a non-m, no spacers were needed.

A bit late here - did you paint the hubs? DIY or did you take her to the paint shop?

My hubs are rusty and am toying with painting these silver. Was hoping you had DIY'ed these and had any handy hints or advice to give...

These looked kind of cool and easy to install. I've never used them.
With black rims the red would be my choice but silver may go better the body.
