I say go black if you can't match your existing paint color.

Red is safe with any color. If you pay attention to cars which came from the factory with painted calipers (05/06 GTO's and SRT's.....) they all came red, no matter what color the car

I love those wheels, but i would go with black or red it all depends on how you are, if your looking for a racier look get red, if you want to down play your calipers, i would get black.

Okay so get the color code for my car (phone my dealer or something) then go to say "Painters Workshop" or some paint store and ask them to mix me that exact code of paint for my Calipers and they will do it with the right ingredients? hahaha im sorry but im still really new with this stuff and i guess you have to learn somewhere
