those are painted...unless they are zinc coated i would suggest painting them...VHT makes a nice paint for rotors (what i used)

i thought about black but with the wheels i have comming i just wanted the rotors to be an afterthought in the background so i went with "silver" I love how it came out it looks sooo much better then the rust that was on there.

Black would be best IMHO, but have you thought about chrome? I have seen chrome covers in several vendor catalogs

The rotors that I purchased are zinc coated so may as well leave them???

BLACK only, you do not want to see the hats! Way to busy!

After painting calipers body color, now colored hats to match?

What's left, paint the inner wheel barrel, and some leds?

Is the circus in town, ...hello?

black is more visiable than silver IMO silver is the basic color of the rest of the brake disk and matches with the wheels.

IMO match the rotor hat to your wheels so it just looks like the wheel hub.
