Stock Type S rims with painted calipers

looking into painting my calipers but can't find very many pics with full car side shots (most pics are just aftermarket rims with calipers). anyone have pics they can upload of the full car look with the stock type s rims and painted calipers?

i have a wdp but am looking for pics of any of the type s colors and am trying to figure out what color to go with the stock rims. any pics would be great, thanks!

yvuru i remember talking you about a year ago or so and you said you PC'd them, but this is my DD so i just put in an order to get some G2 brush on white paint. Don't want to take apart my brakes and all that (yes I know it's not that bad but I've talked to other that have done the brush on).

i'll post after they are done in about 2 weeks or so! i also ordered some 4" brembo decals in black

Forgot to update my thread with my painted calipers. Went white with black brembo decals. These are pics with my stock type s wheels even though in the last few weeks I switched to a new set of wheels (black chromium xxr 530s). Have received many compliments about the white, people always ask if they are aftermarket








New wheels (before drop)

Your breaks look RAD!

Covers? You said that you got covers for the rear. Where did you get these covers? Do they say on? They look great. I have a 2008 BLK/BLK type S and am thinking of copying your break setup. I already ordered Brembo Sport drilled rotors, but what the caliper to pop.

i got the covers from eBay, they were just cheap little plastic covers. they do stay on, so far so good...used some super glue and marine grade sealant to get them to stick.
