Default Which color match best?

I have some new F-sport wheels coming in this week (1st gen)
my car's color is TP and thinking of painting the brake calipers while I put on the wheels. I bought the white vinyl sticker already but having trouble figure out which color works best for the dark color rims and light color body.

Thanks for the input!

Black G2 paint. My buddy Brociouz debated the same and I suggest black. Came out really nice!

+1 for black. But gray is a neutral color so if your worried about matching, any color should be fine.

I'd love to see the rims when you get them on as I have a TP IS too and have been debating which wheels I wanted to change to and where u got them from/how much/tires if you wouldnt mind. Thanks & go black I suggest.

I wouldn't do silver because people will still think that they are stock.

Other colors should be ok... black does look nice as others suggested.
