In the pic you can see stock blue gets completely lost on a Jahre due to Macao Blue body color. What should I go with. No yellow / red. Fire Orange? Mexico Blue? Java Green?

Purely my opinion: I don't think Macau Blue will pair with any brash colors - MB is all about subtlety and understated elegance. I think the stock blue brakes pair perfectly as is because they aren't a loud color and fall in line with the various hues of MB.

Gotcha....

If you want loud I say color match...... or subtle you can do black calipers with fjord blue brembo lettering.

I hear ya but there's understated and then there is invisible. These are invisible.

I'd explore a darker/slightly browner shade of gold if you're not keen on yellow.

What about a crimson red? I agree with the other poster that you'll have to do something that's not "neon" bright. I think a deep red would go well.

Contrary opinion: Get a different set of wheels that takes up less surface area so you see more of the brakes between spokes. This has numerous benefits when comparing to the 666m, such as weight savings, not being an irreversible modification, and having a better looking set of wheels (in my opinion). Also, if you chose to downsize to 19s for example, more of the open space within the barrel would be filled in by the caliper, making it more noticeable. Just my 2 cents.

I'm personally more of an Advan GT type of wheel guy, but a more BMW-esque option would be the silver 763m replicas by Richland Forged.
