Question Rim guards work? and brake calipers?

Just got my 2010 Camaro SS. It has black Gianelle PUERTO aftermarket 20" rims and the stock brembo brake calipers.






What color should I paint the calipers? Do rim guards really work? What color rim guards? Would my rim guards make my rims look smaller?

To me, Yellow is the only way to go on a yellow car especially with black wheels. Mine are at the powder coaters right now being done bright yellow which is the same yellow as the car.

Yellow Calipers to stand out! or go a little more subtle & do them gloss black with a lager brembo logo in yellow.

Bright color cars appear to me to look best with body color calipers. Dark color cars seem to look best with red or blue calipers.

How about rim guards? Should I also get yellow rim guards? and do these rim guards even work?
