What color calipers would go well with that color combo? I'm thinking yellow, but yellow behind white wheels could look off

My car's the same color too. Personally, I would scrap the "white" idea. If you want it to look good, an upgrade larger wheel would be great (not white). But remember we are all just expressing personal opinions based on personal taste. It's your car.

I painted my grills low luster black. The silver paint just looked cheap to me. Looks much better this way. Also, painted bumperets look rich. I also painted the calipers red with 18" spoke wheels. Looks good to me.

Stick with two colors. Otherwise I think it'll look too busy and detract from the overall package. Go black.
