Oregon State Construction Engineering Grad here. I too thought orange would rock if I had black ! DO IT! I think blue w/ my white would be a bit better.

Less is more, I say black unless they're big reds. But then I'm a simply man.

Holy crap there is a lot of lead on that wheel that Cactus posted!

I like the red also, especially with the black car. However, Porsche already chose red is signifying something. So if you want red, you gotta buy big reds (or you are a poser).

If you want to keep your stock black calipers, choose any color but red...

Thanks to everyone who replied, I'm thinking of going with Silver now! Orange and Red don't seem to go with the wheels. I'll paint them up this week and shoot off some pics when I'm done
