It also depends on what you are tryin to go for. Subtle? Showy? I have my calipers painted red and it looked great with my stock rims. Now that I got Torq Thrust M's, for some reason they don't contrast too well. I think it would look better with polished or black calipers. So what I am tryin to say is: don't fret, it's easily changeable with a lil' elbow grease.

To op, personally I'd say black... but red wouldn't look bad either even though it doesnt fit my taste.

Those look like my work. It's a ton of work to get them like that.... if you don't mind me asking who did the work? Notice how smooth the powdercoat is on the brackets. It takes alot of grinding and prep work.
I had the exact setup on my car for a while, they look amazing!
