Looking for some inspiration/opinions (pictures would help) as I'm on the fence in deciding which color to powder coat my CE28N. I bought this set back in 07 right after I bought my car (my very first mod) and drove around with it for two years and then it sat in the box for another two years before I decided it was time to get them fixed.

I have a 07GPW with a black OEM hardtop during the fall/winter and soft-top for the spring/summer. I have sourced another set of OEM calipers that I plan to rebuilt and powder coat as I don't see the need to go the BBK route. I also plan to powder coat my OEM wheels, leaning towards to getting them in white.

I think the color of the calipers (I'm thinking gold) will dictate the color of the wheel. So what colors should I go with?

Calipers: Red, Black, Gold
CE28N: Matte Black, Gold, Red
OEM: White, Gunmetal

Thanks for reading.

went to put new tires today and discovered at the balance rig that one of the front wheels is a little bit off center.
i didn't feel any wobble from the steering wheel.
the shop owner said he afraid to put the wheel on straightening the jig because he afraid it might brake.

what to do?
the wheel is RE30 17x7.5 +50

That awesome moment when you have radius your J's fenders, adding clearance for your R-Comps.
