Have them powder-coated. You can get away with about any color on your car.

Mr. Wolfe
+1, powdercoat will last longer. Pretty much anything goes with AW, do you have any other color accents on your car other than black? That may help you decide.

+1 to powdercoating. I had my brembos done by Mike at thepowercoater.com and they turned out excellent.
