Unless you have red accents anywhere else on the car, paint the drums and calipers black. Also black looks better with drums.

Rep Power: 273 IMO I think red calipers go good with black rims... see
But I dunno about on a SSM color car. But the drums in the back, defiantly flat black!

Rep Power: 261 hey man its always an option lol.
black is the only way to go, and you dont have to buy that expensive caliper paint. just get some high heat and call it a day

Rep Power: 0 either flat black or red even. I have black rims on my black vic and I went with red (for color accent). And yeah, don't buy those 30 $ caliper paint kit. I just used a high temp. ceramic spray paint. 1 can will be enough for a few coats on each caliper.

Rep Power: 273 Just any black.
Big red/blue/white/silver etc etc drum is an act of ricer.
Whatever will draw negative look or attention tends to make you a ricer, they are the low self esteem, attention needy dummers.
