I think I'm just going to go with black or maybe gunmetal or something. If you want them to stand out then yellow goes well with green.

I think I may try to get some sort of painting vinyl printed at a signshop to paint NISSAN on them. There was somebody I talked to on another forum about it, and it looked pretty good IMO.

i have a dark green also and i was kinda stuck on the idea on color. i plan on only painting the front a color and just doin the back in black. i was considering red, a dark green, and black. i found a green close enough to my color and i think i may go with that.

i plan on doing the 300zx brake conversion later this year and when i do that i thik i may go with the same color as the brembos on the 350z/g35 coupe

i think u should try the gold color thats on the 350z brembo calipers. itll match perfect with the green, and wont stand out too much.

did mine international red looks real good and a lot calipers come red no matter what color there car is. my opinon is if you do them dark green or black no one would notice. hopefully il have pics on my homepage soon.

Well, I don't have a dark green Max, but I did paint my calipers. Since you're going with the SE wheels, the same ones I have, I'll tell you that I went with an Aluminum (silver) color. It is an Engine paint that we using in the shop and it's called AlumniBlast. It applied really well and matched perfectly with the wheels. And it's held up really well this year...
