Default Which color match best?

I have some new F-sport wheels coming in this week (1st gen)
my car's color is TP and thinking of painting the brake calipers while I put on the wheels. I bought the white vinyl sticker already but having trouble figure out which color works best for the dark color rims and light color body.

Thanks for the input!

+1 for black. But gray is a neutral color so if your worried about matching, any color should be fine.

I'd love to see the rims when you get them on as I have a TP IS too and have been debating which wheels I wanted to change to and where u got them from/how much/tires if you wouldnt mind. Thanks & go black I suggest.

I wouldn't do silver because people will still think that they are stock.

Other colors should be ok... black does look nice as others suggested.
