nice! been thinking of doing the same thing to my car. i have the same rims and wondered if it'd look funny but it actually looks great! what paint did u use exactly? and how long did it take overall (assuming u jacked up each wheel one at a time)?
more pics too? from a farther view?

I first painted my calipers blue with those wheels. and I think I'm going back to blue soon, but when I do it I'm going to use these decals. http://www.ebay.com/itm/230782094986...84.m1439.l2649 you can also get them in black. $7.99 shipped

It was caliper paint i bought especali i think its heat resistant enable paint you can order the full kit off ebay with cleaner and paintbrush il take some more pictures when i get the car washed at the weekend i pushed a trolley jack in below the front bumper in the middle and jacked the whole front of the car up so i cud do both wheels at the same time. I did about 5 or 6 coats and left overnight to dry and put the stickers on the next day 12 pack purchased off ebay for 1.99 gbp
I am a little confused on were you are saying you put the jack. Could you take a picture of it? I always jack my car up one wheel at a time, it would be great if theres a way to do the whole front at once

be difficult if your car is lowered but if u go right to the middle of the front bumper look in below and at the middle of the of the engine if you look in below the car on the cover at the bottom of the engine you will see a small square cut out that has a raised square toward the engine this is where i palced the end of the jack and lifted the whole front of the car up
hope this helps will try and get some pictures up at the weekend
