Keep the calipers black, and it will subtly blend with the wheel/tire.
i will change my tires to white =D.

Just my 2 cents woot:
Maybe, i was planning to get a set of the AME TRACER FS01 in black. I'll think about it since i have the black and white caliper paint.

Def black, too hard to keep white clean and I think it would look cheesy.

You're a glutton for punishment if you want white brake calipers... I'd leave them as is or paint them black. As for the decal, I got a polished aluminum finish decal on my stock calipers:

First i will paint it white, then drive for a day. If it seems too much of a hassle i will paint them black.
