painted calipers behind BMW 330 ZHP wheels (M135)

Request for pics of painted OEM calipers behind ZHP wheels.


What are your thoughts on painting the calipers on a silver gray ZHP sedan to match the blue in the BMW roundel (stock wheels, BMW Performance rotors)?

Dunno how good it would look against the gray...

I can only offer this for now...until someone posts up pics with 135's. I liked the way it looked. This was on my TiAg 325i.

Here's pic of my calipers painted black. They just disappear, which is what I was going for...

Looks good, Jeff.

I'm liking the black, guess ill add that to my Spring to-do list.

Dane, how did those rotors hold up? I've read that the drilled/slotted rotors are prone to cracking.

Im thinking silver on the calipers might be nice too

I'll post up some silver caliper pics tomorrow.

Mine were done by the PO.

Excellant hold up. I think prone is the wrong word. I have found it typically happens to heavily tracked cars. Don't think the likelihood of it happening DD is very high...imho.

DW, I love your calipers. I'll be doing that during the next BJ (that's brake job gents...come on)!
