i actually can't make my mind up, i had thought black but then someone put into my head that red might look good, i think it would until it gets dirty

No they were filthy when i gave them to the shop came back exactly like that one suggestion if u take stuff to be done dont leave any threads exposed the powder coat clogs them and its a pain in the arse to remove
