Default Wheel detail idea

Thinking about painting a portion of my wheels as shown below. (thanks to Bacardi151 for the image) Maybe a metallic gunmetal color. I plan to do the calipers something close to an Oldsmobile engine gold color with white "brembo" decals.

Opinions?

There's a risk it may may the wheels look smaller (I've seen it done on another STR on this forum somewhere and I shrunk his wheels in my opinion)

I'd just keep them OEM or do the whole thing in gunmetal...If you go gold/yellow, go black decals, not only will they stand out more but they'll be resistant to getting dirty...

I really how my calipers match my centercaps, I'd look on ebay and see what colors (within your budget) they offer in centercaps...
