Red Caliper's w/ Black brackets pic's?
Anyone have pics of Red Caliper's with Black Bracket's and the wheels on? I've seen them with the wheels off but I want to see them with the wheels on. I saw a pic with a black bracket and one with a non-painted bracket and I think I liked it better unpainted. It could have just been the pic though. Thanks.

Re: Red Caliper's w/ Black brackets pic's?
They are ROH type RT wheels from www.groupawheels.com. They are a brand out of Australia. They are very high quality (both the painted "black ice" finish, which I have and the chrome finish). The price was not too bad either. Four 17X 9 wheels and locking lugnuts were $1012 shipped to my door. GroupA wheels was a pleasure to do business with. They took a lot of time with me and answered all of my questions. Shipping was super fast, I ordered on Monday, had the wheels on Thursday.
The wheels are great. I am not a big fan of chrome wheels on a black car, especially when there is no chrome anywhere else on the car, it is to "stark" for me. These wheels are a nice compromise as they are shiny, but not all in your face like chrome can be on a dark car.
My only complaints are they will scratch if you are not careful. Like any other painted wheel, the balance machine can scratch if the tech is not careful. They are also heavier than the stock 16" wheels I had. I do not know how they compare to stock 17" wheels, but these were a fair amount heavier than the 16" wheels.
Here are a few more pics:

HERE IS THE DIFFERENCE FROM CHROME (WELL, SORT OF)
