I'm not a fan of light colored cars with black wheels. Too contrasting for my taste.

Black Calipers look best IMO.

I prefer the red calipers, no matter what rim you go with. There is nothing to tie the yellow to the car, while the brake lights are red, so it flows somewhat.

As for the rims, I like the look of the black if and only you tint the windows a little darker. Same issue as above, it has nothing to tie the rims to, except the tires, which honestly are a part of the rim.

So I voted silver with red.
