Lmao :rofl:

Blue will look ok with the green, provided it's the same colour as the car.

If you are getting rid of it don't paint them at all. Don't even do the brakes. Otherwise go with a contrast to your car colour. Black I'd say. You'll be hard pressed to match sonic blue paint, and a mismatched blue will be ugly.

Well mine are silver from the factory, so thats my bet, if yours are fact silver the do that, factory is nice if they are silver, it matches alot that way. Powder coating looks cool too, and lasts
