Maybe you all can help me out. I'm deciding between 2 colors for the new Wilwood calipers I'm getting for my car.

Black was my first choice bc well it's black and black always looks good but my wheels are black so I don't want them to blend in.

Silver would pop more but idk if it'll look too plain or oem. Red was in the mix but when I saw it on someone else's black wheels the red wasn't that nice and I'd rather have color matched red if I even did red. Brake dust is a non issue bc I clean the car enough that it shouldn't build up and whichever I get I will be coating them so I'm not too worried.

Any thoughts or opinions are welcomed!

Black! Front & rear? 6-pistons, those Wilwoods are $$$

Nah just front lol. It's a caliper only kit to fit stock rotor. I'll upgrade to some slotted rotors down the line.

I know you have a Ford, what model?
 
Color-matching Red...
And for best results, have that Red: powder-coated.

Silver. Sometimes the OEM look is the best look ;)

My choice would be black but since I see you have sliver multi-functioning
rear stock cailpers I would go with sliver ones then I'll have the rear cailpers painted with high temperature paint/clear or either power coat them and sit a paint coating on them......good luck with your choice

This is my vote too. Keep them all the same color.
 
I vote silver. Is that a Focus ST? Those Wilwoods are going to be sick!!!

When I installed Brembos, I painted the rear calipers with G2 paint. I wanted to powder coat them but its my dd...Based on your color scheme, the silver throws it off, just my opinion...

Yeah that's what I was thinking but I'm still on the fence
