Red. Did mine last weekend but only got 3 done due to rain! Also have 22' stormers on a silver car and I think they look the biz.

Depends what colour the car is. Whistle

I went for yellow on my D3. No point in having Brembo's, and not shouting about it Laughing

Always had red or yellow on sports cars but feel black looks better on a 4x4

Although I have to say the more I look at the yellow I think that would look on a black RRS

If you have Brembo calipers then paint them red or black. If you don't have Brembos then just leave them as they are or maybe paint them silver.

I didn't know that LR made 22inch Stormer alloys...

Actually, one side effect of 22 inch alloys is that it makes the brakes look a bit small for the size of the vehicle. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Another vote for red if they are Brembo. Paint the bells of the discs too and you can go with same colour as calipers or a contrast. 2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE

Both black and grey look good on RRS. Red and yellow are for fast cars but that's just my opinion.
