Blurple with white Akebono decals maybe? Colour matching lugs would be cool.

That is the dumbest idea ever.

Someone on myg37 already repainted his Akebonos gold and but brembo stickers on it. It was pretty much 10 pages of people laughing at him, telling him he is a retard, and he never came back to the site.

Are you painting or powdercoating ? If you are sending them to Mike the Powder Coater, he can do almost anything. If you want them to pop, I would go with a candy red, chrome, or even green looks good. If you want to play it safe, do a gunmetal metallic or a black pearl with red lettering.

I would go with a red (either standard or with some metallic to it), black with red or silver lettering, or you could do the whole porsche yellow thing.
