IMO, it is all about being subtle. Make the car look like it is properly setup. If he puts a red caliper on his setup, sure you will see it, but IMO, it won't look right.

yup i think red wont go well with gold rims..but some people has red caliper with gold rims and look good..
IMO your theme will dictate where you go with these kind of decisions. ANY of the colors you mentioned would work really nice with what you have DEPENDING on what else you have going on. Example: For red calipers and your set-up you might need to have the engine covers colored red and maybe the shift boot and armrests or even red C/F inside the car. BAM!! IMO that works NICE!! As long as you have a consistent color enginge and interior theme it's gonna look nice!! Enjoy.

yup i lowered the car..thanks for the help..

black, IMHO, is the perfect color
the silver will clash horribly with the gold - you can get away with it with the lip because the lip is polished, and deep, and adds "girth" to the wheel. The black will give it a much cleaner look overall (again, my opinion)
