I would go silver, cus it will kind of go with the lip, as compared to black blending too much with the face of the Rim.
BTW: How are your exels? I was considering getting some, but they are kind of cheap, and I was wondering if quality was at stake.

rims look like 15's.
I'm gonna say white or silver for the poll....probably silver though cuz white is just a bitch to keep the brakes as clean as the rest of the car.

to answer a few questions...
the quality of the wheels is fine. i had them on this winter and havent cleaned them yet, but so far i notice no chips or anything in the paint, and no defects in the polished part of the wheel.
yes they are 15's.
and ive got sprint springs and kyb gr2 struts.

rides pretty good. i cant really tell you how much stiffer than stock it is cuz i went from cracked front springs, and i think original struts (150k) to the new setup, but it isnt that bad of a ride, with a decent amount of drop.
on a seperate note, if anyones bored and wants to do a quick photoshop of what the car would look like with red white or silver calipers that would help me decide too. thanks.

With back rims you should stick with black calipers. If you had chrome rims or a non-white body colored calipers would make more sense.

white and silver, in my opinion is too much of the same thing... I'd go with red also, or Blue !
