For some reason I think it would work well on your car. To each his own though.
Still a clean looking car overall.

Bmurray350Z; A set of Silver StopTech BBK would flow nicely.

If you really want silver calipers then just go with g37s akebono calipers as they come stock in that color.

Matte black or gloss black wheels?
Thinking of getting a kit from dipyourcar.com to paint my wheels in black.
Which do you guys prefer? Matte black or gloss black?
My Z is in white with vinyl black top.

Satin black.
Gloss wheels will look weird without having your tires super shiny

Neither if we're talking about OEM wheels and Plasti-dip

Satin.
Matte looks like flat rattlecan and gloss looks goofy.

I would do a semi-gloss.
Having had both flat, gloss and now lava black (semi-gloss) the semi gloss or even gloss had a much better appeal and much "cleaner" and newer appeal.
My flat black just always made the car look dirty. It's all personal opinoinated.
ZS14RR is right though, you will need to keep the tires shiny or it looks sort of funky.
