Hey , I am buying a srt8 jeep today in silver and found this
cool pic.
what do you guys think?
I am not into 22's but want a more aggresive look.
Also has anyone painted their brembo calipers red?
Thanks

looks nice. if you darken the rim, i would drop the chrome on the side as well.

That looks great.

Instead of painting the calipers red, you could see if one of the LX guy would trade you straight across.

Thats the look I'm going for. Got a quote from a friend of mine for 400.00 to paint all 4 rims, 2-3 day turnaround time.

:) looks nice. What you dont realize is that the jeeps have an auto feature where soon after you clean them they automatically develop that same "powdercoated" finish with powder of another sort:)

He means a Charger. They come with identical calipers, except they're red. I have them on mine, they're around $800 for the set if I remember correctly.

Can we disable this feature in the trip computer? :(

Man...that is just what I am looking to do...except maybe to leave the center cap as is.

Is powdercoating the way to go or can they be painted and cleared?? Do the stock wheels have clear on them??

i can make brembo decals as well if you want . but IMO i wouldnt put yellow calipers on a red truck with black wheels . too many colors going but if you wanna give it a try im all for seeing pics!

I know that this is an old thread, but would anyone be able to photoshop these onto a black truck, as I'm looking at doing something similar?

Thanks!

Thanks!! I don't have photoshop, so I'll have to use my imagination:) Do you know where I could find a pic of these on a Black SRT?

^ actually there was a member with a black jeep that had his wheels powdercoated like mine, you'll have to search for the thread though can't think it off the top of my head
