Default rims with stock brakes

How do the stock brakes(non brembo) look with after market rims (ie. time attacks)? Does anyone have any pics?

Thanks

How do white people look in pink shirts?

Pretty bloody open question don't you think?

well it all kind of depends on personal opinions. if an after market rim is nice enough, it may grab the attention away so people may not notice. but then again they'll never look as good as if you DID have the nice brakes. rims w/ thin or only a few spokes that leave the break very visible almost need to have nice brakes

As you can see in my picture.. An open 5 spoke wheel.. Especially a 19".. Really makes the rotor look small.. It looks funny if you ask me..

If your going with a big open wheel... To keep the look you really need a BBK.. Which i'll be doing.

but if your upgrading to a bbk just for looks, seems like a waste to me, but im more of performance entuhsiast anyways, so, its really personal preferance is what it comes down to

go for a stoptech or Wilwood BBK upgrade and you'll get red calipers to match the time attacks if you are really that concerned.
