Leave them silver and paint the calipers! I love the way it looks now.

sumbeam I second those two - wheels look great, and whole car would look better with a little more pop from the calipers.

It is a 125i, so the brakes are quite small... This is the reason why I'm not sure of painting them in any color (now they're gloss black).

Probably I will have them painted in Phoenix Yellow with the wheels in ferric grey 2 or similar.

Car looks beautiful! Love the smoked side markers, wheels, and black kidneys! Is that a track decal I spy on the B-pillar?

Thank you! Yep, I like this blue & black styling. This is why I'm thinking on painting the wheels...

BTW, that decal is the Nürburgring circuit

The front carbon lip "splitters" I got from eBay. They have been installed for about 1.5-2 years and no fading or fitment issues. The rear spoiler is the "m4 style" also in carbon.

Searched eBay but no luck. Care to provide some search terms or seller name?

Hey, as far as seller goes it's to old to pull up on my eBay account. I'll pm you the link I took the picture from.
