Caliper color opinion, please...

My M5 will be here in 2 weeks. I went Singapore Grey with Sakhir Orange full leather. I've ordered my custom finished 21" ADV wheels, which are very simular to the picture below. The difference is the inside of my spokes are grey shadowed.

The blue calipers just kill me. I'm thinking of having them powder coated black, silver, SG or sakhir orange.

Thought?

My recommendation is to put the rims on first to see how they look with the stock caliper color. After seeing them in person, I think they look fantastic.

Thanks guys!

I'd love to see pictures of anyone that's done this.

As to the ADV wheel's, no they're not chrome. They have a polished lip, brushed spokes, and brushed shadow grey on the inside of the spokes. They look exactly like the picture below.
