ok you have a black and white car so why not white it may take some cleaning but it will show that you look after the car and it will match the over all colour scheme of the car

I know its boring, but.... Black.
Because;
it doesnt show the (inevitable) dirt and brake dust so look like your car is always dirty,
it doesnt attract attention away from the alloy wheel,
it doesnt look too chavvy (you know, ice-white trainers :tongue: )
it lets you put nicer callipers on later and keep them black so people think they are standard Always good shocking people :grin:
Thats my opinion anyway, and yes mine are black :grin:
