Bronze painted stockies/painted calipers on NBP
Stockies painted bronze using duplicolor wheel paint. calipers painted red using g2 paint. i know, i know...these aren't volks or works but this is the best I can do on my budget haha![Tomato](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/tomato.gif)
big upgrade for me from the chrome "american racing" wheels that came with the car.
i haven't added the vinyl acura caliper stickers yet but they should be arriving soon. thanks to oarichard btw for selling me his stockies.

Looks much better compared to the ones that the car came with![Thumbs Up](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
I think I would have done the calipers black, the red looks out of place with the black and bronze, but that's just my
. Still an upgrade from the original.

Red cals on a NBP TL look hot. It brings out the tails and sidemarkers.

imo if you do not have a BBK you should not be drawing attention to your calipers. I like the painted look but they need to blend with the car. Mine are painted to match my car but have a tiny tiny bit of sparkle in them. I think the red might be too much.
I love the wheel color tho, it goes nicely with your NBP

now you just need a drop
Oh and it would look SICK if you painted the A on the center cap of the rim black, just an idea

Nice job painting, but I'm not feeling the wheel color so much. But thats just me... Maybe a brighter shade of bronze would work better. To me, they look like they're just coated with brake dust and just need to be cleaned.
How are you like the Eagle GT's?? I'm thinking about getting those tires.
