Do you really need to ask if White is bad for showing up black/grey brake dust? lol

im sure it will look nice, maybe a little retro? but whatever color you go for, it will eventually get brake dust all over it. just gotta remember to clean them now and then :unsure:

What colour is your car Scott?i would imagine white calipers would get pretty dirty pretty quickly given what i have seen with cars with white wheels.
