What Color?

So this has been killing me; countless hours wasted, literally, pondering this.......

Car is WB....New wheels are on the way....I'm not sharing any details about them except that they're flat black & fairly open...lugs & stem will be blue...issue - calipers!

Previous owner painted them red...not feeling it....so I'm going to either repaint them or have them powdercoated....BUT...what color?

Here's what I'm thinking:

1] Yellow - my first choice

2] WB

3] Bronze

This has really been bugging the hell out of me, but I can't help it as I'm a stickler for details...thanks for the input.

-Mark

Blue. Yellow is horrible idea, I dont even think people should paint a car yellow let alone just the calipers.

no need to draw attention to an oem caliper. Just paint it black.

Yeah, mine are staying a nice silver, but if you gotta paint, go BLACK; you'll never go back.

I would NOT paint them yellow or bronze, so I guess out of those 3 I'd have to say blue... Although if it wasn't limited to those three I'd agree with black probably being the best choice.
