Actually, I take my vote back for Red. Go with Black. I don't think the red would go well with the wheels. Black would make them noticable but won't take anything from the wheels I don't think.

I'd go red...just my .02

you'll get a TON of looks with the red calipers

...plus it adds close to 15 rwhp

Actually from looking at that photo I had an idea. How about red in the rear and amber in the front? That way they match the turn signal color!
You can use nail polish or if your detail crazy order touch up paint from Ford. Be sure to apply a clear coat afterwards.

I painted them black. It ads some class without taking away from your wheels. Sorry no pics yet with them painted.

I voted for red. When I see red calipers I immediately think of Porshe, so definately not a bad thing. You could be cool and write Ford on the side like that as well, stencil and white nailpolish would work wonders.
