New Wheels Installed (Pics) ***Update***

For all of you that replied to tell me to Paint the Calipers.....THANK YOU ! ! !

A little history....

Last week had thinspokes powdercoated, not real happy when installed, posted photos, got suggestions....took action.

Action included....removed all 4 calipers, brackets and rotors. Painted them Gloss Black (Engine Enamel). The results are below, and yes the car is STILL DIRTY....I have been a lilltle busy painting

Results....I am now happy enough to make it to Tax Return Time.....then CHROME C6 Z06 wheels and tires will be purchased and installed.

Thanks again ! ! ! !

I'm not so sure I'd change it.
I think it looks great the way it is,
kinda sinister.
I think chrome might be a mistake.

I did the most of the prep work so the cost was only $215.00 out the door.
