you can get the caliper paint at your local car store like autozone or oreillys...but around here they really only sell the red black n silver....but the brand is Duplicolor and i would suggest getting the brush applicated because it comes out brighter than the duplicolor spray on and you dont have to worry about taping everything off or taking off the calipers

i did the calipers red and just waiting on painting wheels black but i wonder what the circle and the rings would look like red or in your case yellow....maybe to much?

Is it possible to spray these wheels (using the flat black duplicolor spray) even though they are spoked compared to the S4 wheels?

ya you can do it..it might be harder and longer for sanding it but spraying one wheel is pretty much just like spraying another

Painted mine with 2 part paint from midnight auto supply. PPG cool blue, 4 parts paint, 1 part hardener. I like the look of the blue on the R32s and no one else has blue except the R's. Also, since mine isnt a race car, I wanted something that wasnt too racy, silver and black were too boring and yellow and red were too flashy.

4000 miles later, they still look this good, no polish or repaints, just clean em when I clean the wheels.

I must say though, the yellow sets off with the silver quite nicely, Porsche style! Looks great, and I think it would look sharp if the rings on the center caps were yellow as well
