Black, silver or red behind black wheels on a Grabber Blue car?

red if you want it to stand out

black (or don't paint) if you don't

I laugh when i see cars that has no red at all rolling around with red calipers. That's just me though.

Red calipers = +20 HP?

I am not a fan of the way the calipers look and someone will disagree with me all day long, but i prefer the covers from MGP. You can get them in grabber blue too without the rivets. i think that woudl look good with some black wheels.

I think painting them black would look really good.

I just painted mine today, and I went black, yet my car is white and black. I think black calipers would look good on a grabber blue; there is too much of an offset in color if you go red.

I painted mine red for some "pop" off the grey car. I like.

And of course, 20 more HP is a plus. The black only adds 10 and silver takes off 5.
