Blue caliper and a silver or charcoal grey bracket. Or go a little subtle, and do a charcoal greay caliper and a silver bracket.

do something unique, like first paint the whole caliper gloss black, the brackets a fiery orange color, then paint glossy yellow & orange flames rising up from the center point outward. when the wheels are turning, all the flames should be visible between the spokes.

of course, it would set it off really nicely if you flamed the front end of the car as well
