Default red or black calipers

Just looking for some opinions. I have a sublime green 71 challenger with rt striping. it will have rushforth rated x's 19/20 in smoked titanium with brushed hoops. do you think red calipers on a green car would clash or should i use black ones.thanks for your opinions

Do you have a picture of the car? From the sounds of it I think the black would look better and not clash with the car. The Rushforths are a great choice. Nice products!

the sumblime green and white color combo i think is enough. I would go with black calipers. ...Red ones- (i think) would make the car look to busy and take away from the color combo.




but again. i would like to see pics to give a better opinion!!!

Good call Eric!!!
If you have some pics, that may help us in our decision. But, it sounds like the black is the way to go!

black... and i wouldn't put anything larger than an 18" rim. there's just not enough sidewall for my taste on the larger wheels.
