It would look good. Try it on one and see for yourself in person and if you feel it wasn't the correct choice you could just paint it black.
Typically I only see this done on sports cars with large openings in the rims because the calipers are usually visible. On the Titan rims they are hidden a bit more.

I agree with Clint. I always liked that look on the sports cars. I also kinda like the yellow ones that Porsche offers, but then, I haven't seen a Porsche I didn't like.... or a Titan... Better yet, do the calipers in red and paint "TITAN" in white on them.

I agree. If your truck was red, then it would be cool.

What about a deep blue instead? Not so much contrast.

Re: Need opinions please...

Would painting iron calipers reduce heat transfer?

Not by any significant degree, keep in mind several manufacturers do this right from the factory.

The most important thing is the proper paint is used, G2 is just about the best.

As you have asked for opinions...
I would not do red on your truck, but that's just me. However, if you had your heart set on painting them I would go silver. The silver color will clearly show you have detailed this part of your truck, but it won't be so flashy. I suspect if you went red they would become a very important visual element because of your truck's color.

I don't think it looks good. It just doesn't match the truck.
