My W223 brethren! The calipers on the car are grey and look drabby to me. Thinking of doing a color change and wondering if any of you have done the same and what color did you opt for?
Thanks for the search suggestion and the link but I did that and only found that thread. Was hoping others after him may have followed suit and to get more hits.

With those particular wheels, I personally think the calipers disappearing is a good look.
Not what you asked for, but with that wheel and the color of the car, I think the stock color allows the rotor to fade/blend in. A color change to the caliper may emphasize the smallness of the rotor as compared to the size of the wheel.

The silver on silver looks nice.
I put AMG Carbon Ceramic brakes on my SL450, along with polished wheels. I like the look of the gold calipers, but had they been available in silver, I probably would have gone that way.
I think it looks great with the color your car is. Are those Vossen wheels? I had a set of similar wheels on my Maybach and they really set the car off nicely. I had the floating Maybach centers on the car.

I think the guy did this was brilliant and they look magnificent!! I also heard he is super good looking and the women pine for him...well, at least his wife does.
