Red would be my first choice, but yellow with black letters would look very good also.

Hey doughboy, your car is gorgeous. I am not worthy. Pic does not show up in the post. Any chance you could e-mail me a close-up of the wheel.
Thanks.

Just make sure you paint them MY. There is nothing that looks worse than a MY Vette and sun burst yellow calipers. Also do the letters in black with a paint pen and 4 coats of clear. No need to go hith high heat paint. For paint go to

If my car were yellow, I would do black or yellow.
I did black. Subtle but classy.

The wife got tired of seeing so many red calipers on other cars. She asked me to change hers from red to yellow.

Yellow is a tough one....I'd probably end up going yellow with polish/chrome rims and red with black rims

Color-coding is good, doesn't have to be red. Try HUGGER ORANGE! j/k that might be out of place
