        E30 brakes aren't especially impressive to look at, and since you are going with dark centers on your wheels I'd go with black.

            anything other than OEM or black on stock brakes is highly questionable

              black.... I think nice powdercoated black calipers still bling enough.

                  black gets my vote, stay far away from blue and other such colors on stock e30 brakes

                      I think a satin-black would look nice.

                        Word. I'm pretty sure E30 calipers are gold, not silver. Atleast mine are....anyone elses?

                          Black wheels? Silver calipers. Bright coloured calipers that small would look flamingly gay.
