    Black is the new Red (and Yellow). You can get red, yellow and blue callipers on a Hyundai. Colour callipers are overrated.

    Voting black on this combo...then the calipers won't interfere with the look of the wheels or the sleekness of your color choices.

    Yellow, of course ;). IMO whats the point of buying a car such as a Ferrari 458 and your large carbon fiber brake calipers look like that of an ordinary sedan? Yellow makes them stand out like a proper sports/ supercar should. I get tons of compliments on my yellow calipers alone and my car is white with red interior!

    This is revealing. Truly we have different taste(s). I chose yellow for a Silverstone 430, red for my White/Black 458, I just ordered an all black Z06 that comes with "red" calipers, which forced me to think about meshing all black into the car or leaving red calipers for contrast. Certainly, the eye of the beholder. For the op, I would say, why listen to us, clearly there is no pleasing us (lol). Best

    My titanio spider looks great with yellow calipers. The sports rims spokes are wide and the yellow provides a nice background contrast. Get compliments and no one has ever criticized the calipers for being a different shade than the shields.

    I feel the same as you. From an aesthetic point of view, one wouldn't want to highlight the calipers. But every boy racer will not agree with that!

    My F430 in Silverstone has yellow calipers...the Speciale has matching ones! It all depends on personal preference and where you want your eye to go...the calipers or the car!

    Beautiful Speciale. I hear what you are saying, especially with the diamond rims, the calipers will really stand out. Thanks for the pictures.
