Eegads - all four!
If you only do two, it will look bad. But hey, do red on one side and gold on the other!

my wheels are more gun metal, but i think that it looks awesome. I will admit it's a bit ricey, but I like it. And do all 4. Doing just the front will look stupid.

another option could be White calipers, look for engine paint to withstand those temperatures. u wont regret it it seems to glow! it reflects every light from flashes of cameras and stuff. (worst case scenario white is easy to paint over.)

Not a tC but it gets the point across i think.

As you can see i didn't do the rear because of the drums, I thought it might be over kill...

With yours though the rear has calipers so i think i would if i were you.
