i would go with gloss black and if they had writting on them leave that part silver, i.e. like how ppl paint their valve covers with the honda part still silver. or i would also go with a gunmetal or dark silver so you can notice them up close but not far away like if they were red or somethin ya know!! well thats just a 15yr's opinion, do what you feel is best.

i looked at the pics again and another nice combo could be gloss black wheels with the calipers painted a light bronze color with resurfaced or aftermarket rotors , just a thought from a HT influenced 15yr.
