it depends on your color scheme. mine are red at the moment and my car is similar in color to yours and they dont look too bad. i am changing them to blue tho.

if your car is almost teh same color as injen's...i say either go black with some white lettering/logo or paint them to match. Yellow doesn't look too bad on that color either...but it sticks out and i assume you don't have any other yellow on there.

Here is a really shitty photoshop of red...if someone else wants to do a shop, please do, I'll take all suggestions...Buck, I think yellow is outtie, yuck. I do like the idea of black w/ white lettering though.

LOL, I thought the same think when I made the post, but my wheels get plenty of attention, but my rotors are stock (small) and I just wanted to draw more attention there. I'm really liking the black w/ polished lettering idea.

I will post some pictures when I get home from school, but seriouslly in my opinion I like painted brake calipers. My car is red and my calipers are red. Having the calipers red brings nice attention to the wheels of the car. It looks really great and alot of people notice.. Chicks dig it.. and they say ... MIKE CAN YOU PAINT MINE PINK.. then I'm like But if you do it right and mask everything off correctly and have the right color scheme. It will look really great.
