I would have painted them black, possibly silver, so everybody would look at the rims and not the braker calipers.
They are beautiful wheels!!
Calipers are never beautiful.
You will see the calipers with this wheel design so make 'em clean and silver or grey so they blend in and let those wheels be the focal point.

I'm tempted to go looking through posts and see how many times
AGVI states that red calipers are for rice only. I guess people change.
What's next ? Easy listening ?

I like them...can't see them on my '82 stock wheels but they show up well on the Z.
Really neat to see the car at speed - you can read "Corvette" through the wheels. I like to drive it but I enjoy seeing it on the road - my wife often drives it and she lets me pass her in the '82!

It's true.
I was totally set on painting them silver or black, but I went to the red side!
