you can kinda see here, it blends in and is subtle but noticeable.

What color rims do you have? I ask because thats one of the factors that would help me decide color.

I painted mine gloss black w/ clear and the bracket flat.

I have the stock SS chrome rims. I'm trying to picture the black caliper and bracket with chrome camaro ss lettering. In my head it looks badass lol! But im just not sure.

To be honest its just going to blend in. It's your choice though, do you want the wheels to get more attention or the calipers?

do you want them to stand out or not? if you do any neutral color like silver/pewter/black, they're just going to blend in like bene said, even with the camaro lettering. Sure, they'll still look great in these colors, but only when you bend down to look at them up close, or take close up pictures.

if you want them to stand out then you'll need to use a little color. Sure, red is used a lot, but that's simply because it looks good on practically any colored car. You really can't go wrong with that, especially if you want to be able to see them when just glancing at the car.

I did mine black and its a nice subtle touch. The Camaro SS decal might look nice too.

can't go wrong with red.

BTW this thread has all 3 of the colors you asked about.

great thread to see those different options in one place. Outside of the red, everything else just blends in, they don't add to the look. they don't look bad, you just don't notice them.

i think the black with the chrome lettering would look good. not too flashy but would look real clean.
