Tough choice. I think yellow looks better, but red might be the better choice due to brake dust.

I tend to agree with you but it looks like that because of the photoshop job. The colors are waaayy too bright. The yellow and blue look like neon.

This post contributed a great chopped CGM with red calipers:

Personally, yellow calipers really does it for me. Would love to see it with yellow. Not sure about wheels or interior with the yellow but I'm thinking black wheels and khalakari 1 or 2LT interior.

Of the two, I'd go red. If left to my own choice, I'd go ZR1 caliper blue. Especially because in the bright sun, the blue flakes of the CG will come on strong.

i would vote blue with the Cyber Gray as mentioned earlier. It's a great color especially on a sunny day when the blue in the paint pops in the sunlight.

Mine will be black. Actually I prefer the gunmetal gray as it blends into the rotor assembly. I don't care for painted calipers, looks unfinished.

To me it comes down to interior and wheel choice. If black with chrome wheels, go red. If you do black interior and black wheels, then you can pull the yellow off. I think chrome and yellow would be too much IMHO. If you are doing a brown interior then you need to stick with stock brakes. Personally, I'd go red interior and red brakes and then any of the wheels would be good.

BLACK is what I ordered! To me, the added color to the wheels just takes you away from the overall beauty of the car!! Mine is CGM with Black interior no suede on a 3LT package. Am I ,
