It's a personal thing. Some like them black, some blue, some red, some yellow, etc... I think they will look good. I'm leaning towards painting mine blue once I get around to it. I also have a white GS.

Yes, red would look hot.
Red makes a nice contrast against the white car, the black wheels, and the stainless steel disc.

It will look good. Although I have the stock premium 18's in the "superchrome" finish, I have the calipers painted in red and I personally like the look. On gloss black, I think it will show up nicely.

A couple of members have posts that can give you at least some idea:

I think red calipers would look really good.

Just a small amount of red color anywhere (car, house decor, etc.) always makes things pop.
