color help

`Now that I have my new rims on I am trying to figure out what color to paint the drums and calipers. Also I have painted my front bowtie black but not sure if I should leave it black or a different color. My HHR is silverstone . I was thinking of painting the drums and calipers black that way I could paint the bowties black or silver car match. What do you think? Any other ideas?See pic file for pics. Thanks Todd

I did mine black. A few body colors can get away with red. But black for the most part will just hide the drums.

I did mine black so they would "disappear". Nothing to take away from the look of the rims. Now if I had 4-wheel discs, that would be different, I'd paint the them a bright red!
