you dont think that red would look kinda rice with white paint and gunmetal wheels

You could always polish them, they look sweet coming through any type of wheel, I don't have pics of them through the wheel yet, but here's what mine look like wheels off.

But if I had to paint them, (which is a lot easier btw) I would paint them a dark color, maybe even black. Just my opinion.

Flat black or high gloss black

I would say high gloss. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Unless you just want it to look like it's covered with break dust all the time. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

That term is often overused and used out of context quite too often anyway.

Look here: It's a green car but the wheel combo would look just as cool if not cooler on a white car. http://www.gmmginc.net/html/thenry_camaro.html#

I dunno Mark, I often like your ideas, but for some reason I just don't like red brake calipers. I don't like em on the Z06 even. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> It's not "rice" lookin, I just think it's an eyesore, anyway, just my opinion I suppose <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

That's fine Andy. Ultimately it'll be your personal preference. How about something subtle like Duplicolor 'cast coat iron'?

There are too ways to go:

Subtle: Gloss Black or Gloss Charcoal Grey.

Performance: Gloss Red

<img src="http://www.bergerchevy.com/2002SS/2002_Berger_wheel_800.JPG" alt=" - " />

But and ABSOLUTE MUST would be to install the brushed chrome caliper decals. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" /> Either way would look very nice, just your personal preference.
