i am tempted to do mine white , thinking that i dont use the car much and keep it clean............till i looked at the sate of my (dark) wheels after a 30mile drive. They were bogging , so think i will avoid white !

You will notice what ever colour they are. Red with white is good but what about yellow calipers with black letters?

Just playing devils advocate.
