+1 on black. The calibers are ugly, i dont see why anyone would want to make them stand out!

I voted black.

the calipers are so tiny that it's not necessary to show them

for M5 brakes I would go yellow...

if your car is black, and the wheels are also black. Sorry but the only thing that would look good would be RED. Other than that...black

Yes on black because any other brakes besides the M5 are small and you want to keep them from standing out.

Just finished painting the calipers black, came out so nice. Now actually thinking of doing the hubs as well, but do the hubs even show with the rims on? Will post pictures in a few. Thanks
