I have a 2005 white solara and i'm getting those motegi 20s DP6. SO I was wondering what color of the calipers would make my car look nice and clean? Red, blue, gold/bronze, and so on. Help me guys!

White kind of calipers colors would suit a Desert Sand Solara? I'm considering silver or gold. Any suggestions?

What do you think for a Silver G2? Black cals? I'm thinking red would stick out too much and the ragtop is black so it might be a better overall look. But I'm not liking the slowly corroding cast look so I do need to paint them.

IMO: Black would look good with red or white logos. Silver logos would be really cool but you may be into hand painting.
