right now ive actually got one of those kits to clean and paint the calipers lying around somewhere and im pretty sure its got black paint. i also havent been able to find white caliper paint anywhere, and thats the color i was leaning towards. maybe ill just go and stare at it for a while and maybe itll become obvious to me what color to go with. thanks for all the input.

15's are lighter. significantly. I would go with 15's for performance, really. or if the budget ever really got nice, smaller diameter brakes with smaller calipers (somehow with more pistons), and even smaller wheels.

yes, they are lighter, but the smaller the rim= the larger the sidewall area... the smaller sidewalls that you would have on a 17 inch rim would allow the car to handle much better

if you do white, you'll be taking your wheels off to clean them, weekly... AND it'll look bad. its too much white.
black will be hard to see w/ all that sidewall.
silver will accent the lip thats already on the tire. you need some kind of complementation. silver is the only obvious choice.
anyone who picked red, should be beaten. where else is there red anything around there!?!

the reason ive got the 15's is cuz like a month or so before i got the wheels, i just spent near $400 on new tires for stock wheels. i really wanted something that looked better than my stock wheels i had painted black, and had seen some other white cars with the same type (black w/ polished lip) and size wheels, and it looked good. figured, what the hell, might as well get em.
so now im debating between white and silver, even tho with white itll get dirty really quick. and i agree with the few who said red would look like shit. i just wanted to have more than a couple options up there. suprisingly its not the least popular tho.
