    It's called 'sports red'. Don't use blue the shade of red is just to dark to pull that off. Either go red,black or silver in my opinion but it all come down to what you like.

    Lime green..no. It would work if your car is black or green. Jus stick w/ basic colors...red,black,silver etc. blue calipers or green calipers on a red car screams look at me especially doesn't look good on stock rims

    I'd go black. that way people see your rims, not your undersized brakes. Painted brakes are cool when they are monsterous etc. Standard size though.. not impressive.

    Do black. They look good but don't draw too much attention.
