Silver would look good, as would Mag Red.

Thanks for the replies. I'm thinking gloss black would jump out against the magnesium wheels. Not crazy about the mag wheels but they're growing on me. Can anyone help with how to post a pix using an iPhone ?

I'm pondering the same thing too...
I've got the magnesiums too and was considering matching the mag red or maybe even yellow, not a bright yellow, more along the lines of the "magnesium" lettering on the wheel....

I suggest you try to find a friend who has done them in mag red to get an idea how they'd look on your car. G2 custom color epoxy for calipers -- brushes on so you can do 'em on the car. Also, do a forum search for wheel pics or caliper pics for ideas. Hours of entertainment there!

Congratulations on your corvette. If you want some ideas pm or friend me on here. You can also check my avatar and signature for more pics.
I went with Mag red powder coat for my calipers with polished stainless pad covers.
