do you have any pics of your car???
with-out the pics id have to say gloss black (maybe with some chrome brake decals ) ! red seems like it would pop out and might seem a little out of place...silver might work...chrome polish would look neat, but thats WAY to much work...
only my opinion without seeing pics of thhe car first
good luck

^ agree

You can't go wrong with black, but pics would help to make a better decision.

I say you should match them with the color of your car, and be different from everyone else, plus it will look hella sick!! Nice mookin Z by the way.

I do think gloss black would be the easiest over time. Any color will start to hold brake dust in the hard to reach areas and it won't look fresh after 6 months. Polishing requires upkeep unless you use Zoopseal which is a bit expensive.

Black will always look black even when brake dust get in the edges/corners.
