What Color should i paint the callipers im kinds stuck between red and black. Red bacause thats what evryone else does and it looks awsome and black because the whole car is going to be black with chrome accents. I am also hoping that the wheels fit good.

Paint the calipers black. Calipers, unlike the wheels and the body panels of the car, have no aesthetic value, they are just a strictly functional part of the car such as an air filter or a dome light bulb. Why make it stick out like a sore thumb on your beautiful car? Don't paint them red, most people just see that and wonder why there's red **** behind your wheels.

Alright well the wheels are in and It does exactly what i said it does it makes the car look mean my father said it looks like a monster while still maintaining a classy look. The only question i have is this i got 245 45 r 18 tires and they seem to be a little small i have 2 inches of clearence from the fender on top and an inch of clearence on the sides could 255 55 R 18 Tires fit to give me a better ride also there is a little shake in the wheel could this be an alignment problem?
