    Black. Wheels should be the star of the show ALWAYS.

    Am I the only one who does not care about the color of the calipers?

    Probably the best color is flat black so they hide inside the wheels.....unseen.....

    Pretty much what I meant. The fascination with yellow or red or whatever non-black color is beyond me. Yes, they should disappear behind the wheels.

    I admit that I do enjoy seeing rear drum brakes painted bright red on 90's vehicles. That's mainly for the health benefits. Laughter and a good sense of humor are said to increase life span.

    If you google Nero Daytona, the most common caliper colour is yellow. I do like this however I feel like Ferraris need a little red so I would get the rosso corsa calipers and matching rosso corsa interior stiching.

    Red without a doubt, silver 2nd, black 3rd but kind of boring. I would use yellow on shades of blue only.

    I have the Rosso on my Nero/Nero spider rig. It matches the red stitching interior and red tach. To me yellow is over played.

    As long as it's clearly contrasting, it's good. Otherwise, what's the point?

    Is there a thread about "matte" finishes on here? I hope that ghastly trend has disappeared.

    On a black or blue car, I would always go yellow...

    I'm digging the pics with red ones.

    But I agree with the old timers, that I don't get the big deal. All cars have brakes, what's the point of "showcasing" them?

    I agree, one of the worst automotive trends ever...
