There are many different shades/ colours of red some of which don't "go" together. This depends on the other colours in the mix e.g. yellow or blue to mention two common ones. If I were going red I would makes sure that there isn't a mismatch with the Cherry Red or chicken out and go black.

Red

D’oh! I should read the post properly!

Good advice

I’ll pop a red caliper inside the wheel for you to have a look .

Mine are Cherry Red. You don't see much of them through the Rally Raids.

Black.

Your statement colour is bronze. You don't need anything else to detract from that.

This is obviously down to personal choice , i would never paint my calipers Black ,( too boring )! for me either Red or even Yellow.

Whatever you go for you can always change at a later date. £10-15 , for caliper paint and some cleaner..........not the end of the world if it doesn't suit 1st time.

OR if the wheel can stand out on its own , refresh the original in silver. .

If the only choice is red or black, then it must be Candy Apple red:

Very nice. Is the white R a stick on transfer ?

It's a transfer, that is then painted over with a clear lacquer so it wont rub off (hopefully) when cleaning.

@lenlec - I told you red was best...

Red van, red Konis, red brakes - what's not to like?

I went Fortana Red on an Aston Martin 4 pot Brembo. Rear match.
