What color should I paint my brake calipers

Here are my new wheels, I would like opinions on what color I should paint my calipers, I plan to get some drilled and slotted rotors as well. Pics are not working, www.cardomain.com/id/euromaxima bottom of page 3 for the wheel pic

I think black would look good. It would match the rest of the black accents on your Max (which is REALLY nice by the way!) If not black then maybe silver, but not red or blue.

I would go with either red or silver, not in that specific order. My reason is because if you go with black or white, you would have too much white or black on your car. The red or silver would give your car more definition and more to look at rather than just white or black. By the way, your car looks good. But that is just my opinion. Good luck with the brake calipers.

Red

I think that red is kida of like the classic color and like others have said, white and black can get overwhelming. Just a bit of color to break things up

dont you have a blue pearl over the car? if so i would go with blue. me personally i think black is best unless you have 300z brakes or big brakes where the caliper itself looks nicer and there arent as many cracks for dust to get into. maybe try to get a dark blue. just my $.02. car looks nice btw

How can black get overwhelming? Red stands out way more than black does. White would really stand out too, . If you are looking for a clean look, black or silver. If you want to stand out, go with anything else

I personally like black the best. I did this a while back, looks way better than the rust color that was on there before .

Has anyone seen stock calipers painted red? If you have, you'll know it looks reaally stupid. It's only appropriate for those who actually have nice brakes to show off.
Go with black or maybe silver, just to make them look clean.

NIIIIIIIIIIICE! i love those rims. i never thought silver would look good, but you proved me wrong. the way i see it is, it you do silver or black the calipers are pimped but not out shining the rims. you don't want something that takes away from your rims imo. but red does look good, its all personal pref
