   If not red, blue yellow or red then you could always try ST orange which would go well with silver,,and maybe do other touches in orange too, badges,chevrons and mirror caps etc

    As im doing a blue and black theme,and my alloys are glossy black im going for blue, but with the 'R' wheels they dont show that muhc, but you will be able to see a brighter colour I just need a dry day and a day when i dont need the car as the calipers will need to dry and stay clean etc
