I did my big brakes to match my coilovers and gold rope hanging on my rearview. I think you can do a polished silver or a gunmetal grey.

I think I'll be going silver until I get some nice big aftermarket AP or Brembo brakes slapped on.

I think Silver is stylish and doesn't age - have a look at current mercedes, all silver brakes and they just look perfect

if you want them to stand out but still look clean I say silver but if you dont want them to really be noticed I say black is the way to go
