Best brake caliper color for white e92? 🤔

Dario27 · 02-07-2018, 10:05 AM

I’ve got a 11’ Alpine White e92 ZCP.. and am considering what color brake calipers would match best with the white on alloy ZCP wheels..? Or what would match best if I powder coated the wheels black..? 🤔

BRNDNSLVRA · 02-07-2018, 12:32 PM

Any color tbh

Color preference is completely subjective. There is no correct answer.

If you're rocking AW I would suggest a blue calliper similar to the f8x. Red looks too rice and yellow looks so much better on a blue/black car. But yeah totally subjective..

cliverman · 02-07-2018, 02:06 PM

I dig my yellow calipers on my bbk but would have also considered blue. I was tired of the red.

dont do green, thats MY thing!!!!

Everyone and their mother either does Red or Yellow calipers with white or any color car for that matter because you can't go wrong with those colors. If you want something that'll look good for sure, choose either one of those colors...if you like to gamble or be different, choose something else. In the end, all that matters is that you're happy with your choice.

My Sparta Evolution BBK with blue anodized calipers would look great on your AW M3

Close your eyes reach into a big box of crayons and go with that color
As long as it’s not green

“Burnt Sienna” if you do the crayon thing

Blue, white, gold

EJT86 · 02-08-2018, 06:36 AM

Screw the calipers paint the face of your rotors instead

roastbeef · 02-08-2018, 08:34 AM

anodized grey.

...if you're man enough.

ghostofsenna · 02-08-2018, 09:31 AM

Can people post OEM brake pictures that decided to do a color change?

IND-Distribution · 02-08-2018, 10:19 AM

White has the advantage of being a blank canvas, so there's a slew of color options that would look great. The biggest thing for me is tying everything together between the exterior and interior accents. What other colors are on the car right now? I think that's a good place to start.

Some food for thought:
