If your really going for some kind of sleeper stealth look, you should have kept your cool 40th wheels and not debadged. Then if you have any real performance upgrades, you could surprise people. <--Not an endorsement of stupid street racing, BTW. But maybe you mean something different by "stealth"? What kind of "look" are you going for, exactly?

Somehow red does not strike me as stealthy. 
Of the colors you list, black would be best. But black behind black wheels seems a little redundant - like using the same word twice in the same sentence. Can you do gray, to match the car's body color?

Question:
Answer:
what ever color you want them to be.
although: if you wanted stealth, why are ORANGE and RED even options?!

i needed black wheels, i'm trading them for powder coated oem 5 spoke ones, i'll keep those till i save like 700 dollars then i'll get black ultraleggera's.
very expensive to get 40th's wheels powder coated, and i don't want to deal with a bad paint job done by my self.
all black car, with clack wheels, looks very very "stealthy", throw on red calipers it's still stealthy while still looking sporty.
no cai for me, just k&n drop in.
all badges off cept for the 40th ones...for now...should i debadge those?
its a minor detail, the calipers, so they could be lime green and still not stand out.

you could do silver or alluminum. I don't think that was one of the colors you posted earlier, but I know you can buy that color in caliper paint.
if not, go black
edit: I have mine in duplicolor blue, there's an album I made so if you want to see what it looks like check it out

Black and if your going to paint them do not, DO NOT paint your pads too lol that just looks like a 12 year old did them well you sat back and drank beer.

oh i didnt catch that haha
black, red,or silver.
narrowed it down to 3.
red matches interior, looks nice, but looks ricey in the manner of imitating.
black goes well with the theme but is redundant
silver idk but was a good suggestion, but i want no chrome on the car, so i think i'll have to pass on silver idk.
