stop jockin' my style
j/k
they look tight and i understand the wheel gap thing. you make me want to paint my calipers. anyway, the katana spazios are the sh/t. curbed one of mine the other day (i was in a funeral procession and had to make a tight turn that i knew i wouldnt make, but i wasn't gonna make the 40 cars behind me stop and back up). I heard the dreaded scrape, got out of the car, saw the scratched curb, and to my amazement, not a blemish on the wheel. enjoy and keep em clean

Where did you get them for that price?
Go with the Black paint on the calipers the red calpiers will draw attention to your wheels generally, but the shine in thoes sick f**king rims will draw all the attention to the wheels and then the red paint will make them look at the calipers. Since they are not aftermarket calipers I would prefer to camouflage the calipers behind thoes wicked rims, that's why I would stay away from the silver paint too you would have too many shades of grey, (sorry guys I'm Canadian) gray, with the steel, chrome, car paint , I think the black would give a good contrast.
Could you post exactly what rims thoes are, I saw scattered info in this post, and didn't you say you were rubbing at the back but you haven't put your spring in yet. Are you concerned about rubbing more? and were you able to fix the rubbing?

Their 225/40/18's.
My speedo is about 2/10 of a MPH off.
I really like the red calipers tho... the red bounces off the wheels and it just looks so yummy... but maby i will change it to black...
im going to cut the plastic tab today.
and my springs should be here today too!!!
