    I'm deciding to not paint either drums or calipers since my wheels are black in the middle & you can't really see much if any of calipers or drums due to the wheel pattern, covers them up for the most part. I voted blk/blk anyway tho...

    I went Red Calipers and Black Drums. The Drums need to be mundane...but the little bit of color on the calipers isn't ricey at all.

    Stock rims barely noticable imho:

    I prefer red myself, the only issue becomes keeping them clean. I did them on my old 1100 Suzy

    Mine are painted red, never touched the drums, THAT looks tacky IMO. Theres nothing ricey about it. If you want to start talking rice, thats just as bad as calling the Taco an import now. Do what you wish and don't let these losers sway you otherwise :)
