I think the green stripe around the wheels would bring them out more and make them stand out a little more. Right now it looks like they just run into the tire...

i think you should read my thread and stay the **** out if you have nothing good to say

car is not lowered. i went with green because i see red, blue and yellow calipers on everything and i like it regardless. i wont do a silver/polished lip on the wheels, maybe a green stripe but thats all im considering right now. thanks for the positive comments everyone.
