What color are you wheels? Chrome? black? gunmetal?
If the blacked out includes the wheels Id go with blue or black for calipers

What about a IBM SS with chrome replica wheels?

Red calipers will surely look good on black rims.

For SS models with Brembo I always like a matched factory color with the brembo decals.

For v6 models, black or silver, we don't have nice calipers, painting em red just makes it look like civic or something. Personally I used high temp BBQ paint with a brush and it dries even with no brush marks matte black. And been on there for 2.5 years now. Best 9 bucks I've ever spent.

Do something to match your car, I love red but I don't think it will be the best match with the Imperial Blue car color.

what about a BRM with soon to be dipped or powder coated wheels (black)? Theyre chrome now. I was thinking red.
