You could polish the calipers and paint the brackets black. I polished my calipers and painted my brackets red, it looks pretty good.

Make a poll...you might get more of the response you were looking for that way.

I say black though. Or maybe even the polished calipers with black brackets as someone mentioned earlier.

straight up black. I'm not a multi colored caliper fan and my car is black. I've got nice shiny rotors so black is a good contrast. To many colors on a wheel looks ricey to me so I dont see a need for red on a caliper at all. But thats me.
