    Selena is right, go black for the calipers since it’s a neutral color and will match any wheel.

    • @MiddleEasternGuy
      @MiddleEasternGuy 6 років тому

      Also, if you keep the Alpha Motorwerks decal, you can go red for the calipers to match it.

    Careful you don't burn yourself out. You need rest when you work as hard as you do. Black would be my preference.

  • @joshcowan1584
    @joshcowan1584 6 років тому +8

    Dat Mike Stud at the end 👌🏽 Red would match your Logo but then you’re like everyone with a hopped up civic. Black is my vote. Not digging the idea of gold calipers. Remember though, it’s your car! Do what you think is best

  • @jmaliklewis2528

    Great work it looks very nice😊gold calibers probably look even better😊

    I'm late seeing this one but I smile when I see how enthusiastic you two are. There is no doubt you will be hugely successful. Too late comment on the calipers but I would vote for gloss black....

  • @BubbleboyJ
    @BubbleboyJ 6 років тому +6

    Love the wheels. Go silver on the calipers. Black will just give it a dirty look which you don't want

  • @IvanGomez-ox7tz
    @IvanGomez-ox7tz 6 років тому

    Same setup on tires I'm running on my BMW !!! Should be looking so nice , since my cars lowered and staggered m3 wheels

  • @TimTriipzzzkk
    @TimTriipzzzkk 6 років тому

    How does the fender liner react and stay stuck out of the way after removing the groove it sits in? Looking at this option for my e90 with staggered m3 wheels similar fitment.

  • @97madlexus
    @97madlexus 6 років тому +2

    I would go with the black or red on the calipers. The red will match the logo and will stand out behind the wheel.

    Any lower and you're getting into low life or you might as well bag it. But I personally like it the way you've got it as well I love those three piece gold wheels! I guess you're gonna have to decide if it's going to be a beauty queen or a rockin driving machine. A mix of both is what I aim for so I can have some fun still without freaking out if it gets dirty or a scratch etc. Gotta have those drift moments man! Wheels can always be fixed and tires wear out. But the thrill of the drive is priceless!

    Hey guys how did you decide on Alhambra as a spot to locate to? Did you both grow up in NC?

  • @torks2339
    @torks2339 6 років тому

    Dam you are one crazy hard worker! I have exactly the same issue on my E46 touring which I believe are sporting wheels from an X3 so the offset makes them stick out to far. Funnily it only rubs on the passenger side though. Wondering of the damper is tired on that side only.

  • @darioc.4414
    @darioc.4414 6 років тому

    The fitment of the wheels and the wheel-gap is absolutely DOPE (y) (y)

  • @JiZhakuSan

    If it was me, i would go for black calipers. Really surprised you didnt convert to studs for your wheels

  • @farhanraja4350
    @farhanraja4350 6 років тому

    Digging the wheels. The fitment is not bad at all. I would say Black calipers keep that sleeper look going :) s54 sedan you know what i mean! love it!

  • @Jayc_e93

    Go black on callipers or even red to match the center caps would look clean to. Luv your vids man!!!!

  • @peterbotham6977
    @peterbotham6977 6 років тому

    Hey there ,the rims look sweet. I Would paint the Caliper's silver or red to match the centre cap's of the rims. Those rims would look killer on my Black E46 coupe.

  • @sharkk001
    @sharkk001 6 років тому

    Car looks really good. What do you think about a brake upgrade? The 335i rotors and the Porsche 996 calipers with the adapter brackets of coarse? If not then the black calipers.

  • @moky4241

    Red Calipers to match the logo, will go with any other colour plus stand out more.

  • @Oneworld1116
    @Oneworld1116 6 років тому

    Don’t do anything to stock calipers. Do the Porsche 996 brake conversion and get some bling. Powder coat the calipers lsb and really make them standout.

  • @mikhailmurashov7463
    @mikhailmurashov7463 6 років тому

    What is offset on your new wheels?
    I have a 2004 zhp sedan on stock suspension and I am thinking on going with:
    Front: 18x8.5 et30 with 225/45/18
    Rear: 18x9.5 et35 with 255/40/18
    These tire sizes were picked to keep the diameter, the side wall, and circumference the same between front and rear.
    From what I have heard, this set up should fit no problem without any fender rolling or pulling... what do you think?

    • @justinrobert6573
      @justinrobert6573 5 років тому

      Too large of tire. You will rub like crazy... You need 225/40 and 255/35
