I have mine painted Ford Blue and they have held up fine. With your wheels John I think blue would be the way to go, as they would match your car.

calipers are like women's underwear.. give them a colour that'll make people want to look.
I voted pink, 'cause you gave us the option.

If the idea is for people to notice them you want a "contrasting colour". If anyone remembers art class, your contrasting colours are:
BLUE & ORANGE
YELLOW & PURPLE
RED & GREEN
No really, it is a fact. Don't believe me? What more proof does one need than a traffic light where red contrasts with green? ;)
