Default White Calipers on White Cars: Pics and Opinions

I'm planning on painting my calipers soon and was wondering if white on white would look good. If I can't find any pics that sway me towards that, I'm probably just gonna go black with white vinyls.

What do you guys think? I know the wheels probably have a lot to do with it and this is what I'm running now:



However I'm thinking of swapping to a black Z06 rim with chrome lip. What combos have you guys seen/think look good? All thoughts welcome (unless they're just rude).

Thanks, guys

I think white calipers would look really horrible.

Not only would they be hard to keep clean, but they'd just plain STAND OUT. Black/red/almost anything other then white IMO would be for the best.

Edit* You posted pics.... yep looks about what I imagined it would have.

Agree I don't like the white,could maybe do black,with a white camaro decal,but white looks out of place,red or black looks the best imo,I don't think white looks good anywhere on the calipers

I would say no, but that's due to my aggressive pads that dust a ton.

Thanks for the pics guys. I guess the white standing out just emphasizes one thing I don't like about these cars, where the caliper sits on the rotor. I know it's not a huge deal and there's probably a reason for it, but seeing so plainly where they are turns me off a bit. I think I'll go black with the white T/A vinyl. I'll be sure and post pics when I do.
