Not intentional, the entire rotor is actually zinc coated. To be honest not sure why it looks blue but kinda digging it.

Here is another shot from a different angle.

Oh-h-h-h! From that angle, those rotors are very attractive. So it is a trick of the light. That's odd.

Sneakers, I'm not digging the glossy red calipers. But I do like your rotors.

Yeah I don't get it neither and its not the camera The first time I saw it in day light I was like wtf! I was expecting it to be all silver and have the bold red caliper popping out. But that blue is growing on me...has a superman-ish theme to it lol.

At least you half right, not everyone have good taste lol jjk man.

Now that the blue is there, perhaps the calipers should be in a similar spectrum?

Color opinions aside, you get respect for actually doing something, instead of just talking about it (me).

Nah, gonna roll with these for a bit. Its not quite how I envision it. I was looking for a clean & simple setup. The way it is now looks too busy and too much angles. Maybe its the spacer the du-mas shop put on or maybe I need those wheels at the beginning of the post. But for now, gonna enjoy them until I figure out next step.

Thanks for the and your honest opinion.

I like all that you've been doing to your G, the red stoppers do stand out for sure. If you're digging the blue these may look pretty tasty if you ever change things up
