Yeah, I'm not sure how good black would look on black rims... Definitely don't leave them stock though. Paint them sunburst orange if you can get that in high temp paint, but if not, go with black.
Polished calipers might look good too... It would go with the silver lip around your rims.

The thing that sucks with SBO cars is that you have to spray the color on there. There is nothing high temperature available in a brush on that matches SBO. Trust me I've looked for almost a year now. Really your only high temperature option for an orange color is Duplicolors Metal cast line. It's supposed to be an anodized color but if you keep adding coats it looks remarkably close to SBO. I've done a lot of things in my engine compartment with it and it matches pretty close.
Of course you can get SBO from your dealer in spray but it's not high temp paint, although there are some guys here that have used it and claimed to have no problems. I would be really leary about that though because I used it originally on my fuel rail cover and got some bubbling after a long trip.
Us SBO guys are kind of screwed when it comes to caliper paint. I've been debating this for a while. lol
