enkei released a newer center cap to fit your shogun's. they look better than the old tuner centers imo. i would go with red or gold on the calipers. its really up to you. its your car.it doesnt have to please any one but you. have you seen the oem toyota(enkie) wheel thats a 16 inch version of your wheel.

Keep the wheels...and your calipers look ashy, you may want to repaint them black

Those wheels were always ugly as hell.

If you really like those wheels, get a neon and rock them all day.
