Red or Yellow ? -- I went with black,
Upon removing the stock wheels to try install the new ones, The brake disks and calipers were very very rusty, stained and seemed to have 5 years of filth. This is very apparent when the new wheels with an open spoke sit there revealing all.
After using the de-ruster, cleaned and cleaned again, still looked a state, So I googled and found an interesting thead on painting the discs as well.
This is what it looks like Before after thorough cleaning. (Front only done for now)

Brakes look good black, just need some decent drilled and grooved discs now.
Did you get the exhaust done?
Best regards
