Default Colored Wheels Or calipers on a V.

Anyone run any colored wheels other than Black/Satin black or gold?
Post them pictures up


Been thinking of getting some teal going on my Silver CTS. or maybe even some Grabber green.

But i might get my calipers painted a Teal color and then I'll see if I just might go Semi gloss black.

Got this photoshop BTW.

I agree. If anything do gunmetal grey wheel (black wheels or overrated IMO, and everyone's doing them. I like to be different), then go a lil crazy with the calipers. A green like that, blue, orange, etc... That's exactly how I will be doing mine when it warms up and I can paint the wheels properly.

If you wanna add some color do the calipers. Those odd colored wheels don't belong on this car. If anything bronze wheels would be different and cool, but those bright colors do not belong.

I've been thinking about doing mine in bronze. Might look sweet on a black car I think... But like green and stuff... IMHO not on wheels, on calipers it looks cool though

I agree on stock wheels getting a crazy color being Rice haha.

But I'd love to see some Sub Zeros or a lipped whele with a nice stando off color.

I'm ultimately going Black with New Teal Powdercoat on my calipers.

But until them I might plasti dip my stockes Teal and see how I feel about it.

Would be nice to see some others being differents. Muscle can can have a shine to it too is how I see it.

Matter of fact. My Michelin tires have Yellow letters for now.

Planning to paint/dip my stockers bronze to hide brake dust. Haven't gotten there yet.

There's a pic of a red car with gold wheels around somewhere. A bit much IMHO.

Like others above have stated, the wild colors on wheels are for the import scene, not Cadillac's. Do something that stands out on the calipers, which is what I did with the lime green. Although, I'm thinking about changing to red calipers with a bronze wheel for something a bit different.

I'd love to see that Lime green behind some black wheels.

I got a color called New Teal Powder Coat picked out. it's a metalic color. But that flat Teal looks real good as well. I'm still thinking about the color tho... i did want Lambo vibrand Green at first tho.

I love the green calipers! I wish I could pull that off, but with a silver car, I don't think it would look right.
