I love the yellow calipers. Have you considered going with a polished lip? The reason I'm not a fan of black wheels is you can't differentiate between the wheel and tire. I love the look of a low profile tire and an all black wheel gives the illusion of too much tire, not enough wheel. The strip helps, but I think a silver polished lip would work well with the silver corners and side lights, IMHO.
The polished lip delineates the wheel from the tire:

Yea I'm not a fan of black rims either. But I think those yellow calipers look sharp!

Keep up the good work.

very nice Djomlas
Yellow and black are the only way to go, although a bright blue might go nicely with your color car... hmmm or maybe white w/ greenish porsche stickers. But the yellow works!

Looks great DJ! The decals will be a nice touch when they get added. Looks like the hardtop has found a comfortable storage place?

yeah, they get dirty
but being as bright as they are clean, they still look good with a bit of dust on them. Probably more of an issue for you with your wheels. The Turbo rims are a bit easier for cleaning the calipers I would imagine. One of the reasons I opted for them in the first place, but I do like your rims. If it weren't for the cleaning issues I would have ordereed those back in 99.

Sweeetttt Yellowwww is the way to go. I love yellow calipers. I'm gonna re-paint mine next week. I bought Grey decals to put on. So i thought i'd give the calipers a fresh coat of YELLOW paint.
Sweet kar dj!

I am inspired. Is there some DIY guide to doing this, or is it just as simple as:
1) remove wheel
2) cover disk
3) paint caliper with special paint
