You're welcome. I'm not great at Photoshop, but I tinker a little. I did what I could to make them black, but it looks like a bad tape job. I think it gets the point across though, so pardon the messiness.

The red seems to stand out more against the black (though it could be because my hue and brightness are off)

YES those are it! They are good and cheap to boot. Not incredibly light, but they still beat the s-lites.

I need to swap out the center caps!

Perhaps powdercoat as well? What I like best is no universal "extra" holes. Nice

Thanks guys. Yeah actually my fronts are orange/red, but I'll be redoing them before AMVIV in Racing Red, lol--both the front and rear calipers. I only did the fronts the last time I painted them.

I just installed these Enkeis RS-6 with the Falken 912, so much better ride so far over the stock run-flats!
