Personally, I like the red calipers best, but I think painting them any other color than OEM is somewhat poseurish since they're not S brakes and not PCCB brakes. Also, colors other than black are a hassle because you "need" to clean them. No one cares about dirty black calipers, but dirty red or yellow? Just can't be seen. With your wheels, I think you will not have a good time cleaning them. I have 5 spoke wheels and red calipers, and it bugs me that there is always a dirty stripe behind one of the spokes on my calipers after I wash my car. On my other set of wheels which are similar in style to yours (BBS-like), it's next to impossible to clean the calipers unless I remove the wheels. If it were not for Porsche creating a fashion statement with colored calipers, I would stick to black. That's my 2 cents as I prefaced my comments with "personally"...

My vote would be to keep them as is and clean them up unless you have to paint them. Red should be on 986S and any 996. Yellow ONLY on a car that has PCCB.

Just my $.02
