pretty much what ross said... how much attention do you want... I always want mine to be close to color match of the vehicle

Black. It's not like they're modified in a way to where you want to attract attention to them...

Me personally, I would paint them a flat black. Try to hide the caliper as much as possible. That way people see the rims you have, not the calipers. LIke was mentioned, you don't have anything fancy in the way of calipers, so, make them hide in the background. Besides, the black also helps hide the brake dust.
