What color to paint brakes?

What color should I paint my som t/a's brakes. Its got firehawk rims.

They need to be painted because they look a bit ugly.

I was thinking red, black, or orange.

Any suggestions?

Red. I painted mine blue and it is hardly noticeable.

i love red brakes also, but if youre car is orange (just guessing because of in your sig its in orange color) then i think painting them the same color orange couldn't look bad. otherwise black. red calipers on an orange car seems like it clashes. lets see some pics after install and while driving!

Lighter colors show brake dust worse. Something to think about.
