I got ahold of some CT6 Caddy J55 calipers which are the C7 Vette Z51 equivalent larger J55 calipers with the 13.4" rotors. Needless to say, these things take up a lot of real-estate under the wheels lol
they came in the Caddys metallic dark silver/grayish color, not sure what it is but I plan on repainting them. Question is... im at a lose of what color. I've had red before but I don't knownif I shoukd try a different color or stick to the color pallette of the car.
98 Red Trans Am, has a black hood, might go back to red but that's a topic for a direct discussion lol,
And the wheels are c7 Zo6 semi gloss black.
I'm think either
1- RED calipers behind the black wheels with black trams am or firebird lettering
2- Black calipers behind the black wheels with red trans am or firebird lettering
3- Bright Silver behind the black wheels with black lettering
4- or something else someone comes up with better I like lol

Here what it woul currently look like as is. (The rotor was a test fit to see what it would look like, it was to the smaller 12.5 rotor i accidently got before i reliazed i got the larger calipers)

Current caliper paint

Black wheels with the caddy paint color

Another look

Heres what i had before the Z51 upgrade. Red caliper brackets. Im thinking something popping would be nice behind the black wheels. Thats why i was think silver or bright red, but black wouldnt look bad either.

Just an idea of the front of the car. Bumper has been off for a couple years, needs some paint correction lol 98 was a long time ago lol

I have mine painted black. I also have black wheels. Red paint is going to kind of be hard to make it look good. Really red, black, gunmetal maybe? Sorry that is the best picture I have right now of mine.

Just did a wheel over comparison. Actually kinda like it. This cherry red really pops through. Another color combo that keeps coming up on FB is yellow, and I'm kinda digging it!. For now I'm just covering the caddy color since its a bit beat up. At least the red is a good base color.

Red is always my favorite. Black would just hide behind here and blend in too much. Them yellow calipers though, kinda digging those too.

The red looks good. Its a classic look. Yellow I didn't think about that. I like the black because the car has black lights and a black on the SS hood. It actually looks pretty bad *** in person lol.

You can't go wrong with red.
