Dark Silver S-Spokes with Red Calipers

What are people's opinions of 17" S-Spokes with red brake calipers?

I can't make up my mind whether it's worth doing, due to the gaps between the spokes not being very big - not sure if the red would show through enough.

Has anyone got it done, and got any pics?

Cheers!

I think there would be a noticable difference - Especially whilst on the move. I'd go for it

My JCW calipers were quite well hidden (not a good thing!) behind the S-spokes I had on my S, the R99s have set them free

Do you have any pics of them behind your S-Spokes, at all?

Cheers Martin - hmm, not as noticeable as I thought though.

I had them and to be honest it looked rubbish. I don't know if it was because of the body colour. They then got a black re-spray and looked much better for it.
