I chose silver. But regardless, I think you should get some lexus caliper stickers and put them on. I currently have the stock calipers but put white stickers and they look amazing (soon to get drilled/slotted rotors to make them pop). I would probably paint yours silver and put either black or red "Lexus" stickers on. Just my two cents

you should do the Brembo gold. That will stand out alot nicer with the white car.

I would go with white, because its much easier to keep looking clean. I know it sounds weard, but the darker you go the more you will find your self washing it.

I have black on mine but for you I would go with the bronze to go with your wheels. Here is mine for reference.

I'd go with the color of your lugs. Silver would be second choice if it doesn't work out. Bronze makes it too busy..gunmetal rims, blue lugs, bronze calipers...

I agree. I voted silver but I think the lug color would work awesome

Not to change the subject on the calipers, but what size, offset, and width are your works? They are now what i am saving up for, very nice!
