I know I might get chased by a mob with pitchforks and torches but, I would paint the calipers red. I know not really a jeep thing but I think it would look good with the open rims.

the key for the locks, which slips over the locks to unlock them... is to big and doesn't fit into the new wheel lug holes... luckly i had the 5 regular lugs i took off to put the locks on so now i'm not missing any lugs.. but have no locks either...

The wheels look good, but I would not paint the calipers. Then again, I hate doing accents in body colors.
