as was previously said, if you have a "theme" color then stick to it. Red usually looks good since aftermarket calipers are often red. I would aviod dull silver or white, just because I personally don't think it would look right with the silver of the wheels. And white, as any light color, would show dirt/brake dust rather easily

okay, thank you guys. I'm still leaning towards the red paint. I want to get a new set of wheels but I am not sure what yet. I figured the warrantee wouldn't be voided if I painted them but I thought maybe it could be a violation. Once again, thanks guys!

Another vote for red calipers. We have a different type of car, which is silver, and we chose to go with a powdercoating process...and we chose black. We put the STi front brakes on a Forester XT, and didn't want to create a high profile look. I really like the black, and it hides the brake dust pretty well.
If I were doing it again, I might choose red, though.
