    I reckon black would look good, the other colours don't go or are the same as the car colour.

    Personally I wouldn't have painted them in the first place - so nitromors would be the prefered option (remove the paint) but failing that then black.

    Yep has to be black, in my opinion only massive brakes like AP's etc should be bright so you can show them off!
