    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)?

    It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

    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...

    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.

    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.
