   Going to be buying these alloys for my silver VTR
   
   
   
   As there is quite a bit of space between each spoke, i''ve bought new discs and pads too. The last thing I want to buy to finish it it all off is new calipers as the ones currently on are rusty as hell. I've thought about just removing them, giving a good go with a wire brush and just spraying them myself, but i've also found this website that sells them http://www.biggred.co.uk.
   
   The only thing I can't decide is what colour to buy. Anyone have any suggestions, I was thinking red to be honest?

    I'm a chav... mine are red, but then again I like to ASW my brakes.
    
    Silver is the way forward. Looks tidy & new. Otherwise I'd say red is the acceptable standard.
