New Rims and maybe breaks

So I'm looking to get new rims on my mercedes. Still deciding between black, white, silver, or gold. If i put rims that show my calipers, I'd need to paint them so it can look better, right?
Could you suggest me if i go with that, what caliper paint should i use, as I dont want to have the dirty red or yellow look. I'd preffer it to be shiny. I'm even considering shiny black!
Does anyone have amg monoblocks in black on a jet black car?
Also give me suggestions for rims, if possible followed with examples. I dont want to buy rims that I will not like in the future when put on car.
Thank you!

P.S. I guess I'm kinda picky

Use Akebono pads and you can paint them bright yellow, red, purple, whatever color you want. These pads make hardly any dust, and if you use wheels with large "holes" you can clean the caliper when you clean the wheels.

I put E-series sport wheels on my wife's 202. My E430 sport has the same wheels as well. I've seen this rims in black on a black car as well and look ok too.

I'm liking it a lot, I'd like to see more replies with different options though.
