Ok I have a set of Gianelle Spezia 5 rims I use for shows, but the stock 17s are what I drive everyday on. One of the stock rims is bubbling and peeling around the center cap. so I'm gonna have them sandblasted and powdercoated. I wanna dress them up and make them a little more showy. My car is cosmos purple and I have chosen flourescent green as my accent color. The color accent mods are in the works already, I'm curently gathering parts to do lighting mods in the engine bay and have already bought the One Shot paint for the pinstriping and airbrush work.
I guess my question is really whether I should paint the calipers the same color as the wheel body accents and re-decalling them OR leave them red? My own opinion seems to be leaning toward repainting them the same color as the wheels. Visual aids are below!
OPINIONS please!

OR make them match (Image of caliper is shaded to show depth only), calipers will be the same color as the green on the rims.
