Calipers and Rims project

Painted my calipers red, and plasti-dipped my rims in time for winter (yep, I drive my e85 in the winter as it's my only car)

I used matte black plasti-dip, with a few coats of "Glossifier" for a semi-wet look

(ignore the water overspray on the tires, I was just shining up the rim to take a photo)

a lot of BBKs are red, I think it looks OK, not sure about the black wheels on your dark car though. I was thinking about doing something similar to my 108s but leaving the split outer rim untouched.

Done same. Awesome look with two tones 108, but thinking to go for 313

Plasti-dipped the rims for winter protection. Will peel off, get some new rims (still black), and sell the old ones
