Default What Color Brakes??

I was thinking of painting my brakes but i couldn't decide on a color, so i was wondering if yall could help me on that. Well my top 3 choices were Red, Blue or Yellow. But i'm not really sure, and if there is a different color yall think would do my car justice then say so. Anyways here are few pics of my car to see what color breaks would like nice.


Hmmm...i wonder how white would look, don't think i've ever seen that before. Anywho what yall think?

I would say either match them to the blue of the car, or do them high gloss black.

Red will look too busy as will yellow.

Stick with either blue or black. Those will give it that classy feel.

Black would be my vote, unless you can do a VERY close color match to your paint. Anything else will be distracting. Black would really make your wheels become the focus point instead of your brakes.

I agree, red or yellow will stick out to much.
I did my drums black, and my calipers silver.
