Default RED body with GOLD alloys. What colour should I paint the calipers ???

Hi. Just bought some 4 pots and planning to re-paint them but don't really know what colour will suit. The car is red with gold wheels. What do you think, paint the calipers red, or black with white letters ?

Anybody got a picture with similar setup ?

I'm not keen on gold wheels with red cars. I think red body with black wheels looks really nice, you could then paint the calipers red.
That's what I would do anyway..

Cheers guys. In one of my previous threads I've had the same problem with the alloys, because they need to be refurbished as well so... I'll have to make my minds and decide but personally I like calipers in red :-)

I would go for white wheels a la Craig Mudd's old WRX and then you can paint calipers red.
