I don't have a Black, but I would say red calipers with the center part of the rotor being black.

I did red too...

It really depends on what aftermarket wheel you are getting. If you have a bronze wheel, gold or black is considerable. I have a metal gun colour wheel - or a dull silver - it works well with red. Bright silver works with red or gold too.

Post picture if you like. Will upload them tonight.

Do you actually paint on the rotor, or just the metal bit around the hub?

Red caliper is the way to go
