Kind of a noobie question I know but I'm not sure what color to paint them to make them look great. Any help or insight or photoshopped pics would be great smile.gif

i'd probably paint them straight black....if they are bright aka a real color it would offset your car's balance and poke out too much from behind your rims
a nice gloss black would give it a slight more eye appeal but not stick out more then it should.....if you want it to stick out a little more the only other option i would see is the typical silver kindasad.gif

x4 for gloss black. that's what i have. makes them look nice without attracting too much attention to my small rotors and drums in the back.

I almost always tell people silver, just because it makes them look like factory new parts. wink.gif

i think red stands out nice and gives the impression that they are uprated breaks, thats what i did on mine. beacuse of the complex spoke patttern of your wheels also dustin, black aill not show through much.

White might look cool with your color.

The black looks nice. Depends on if you want them to show or not.
