forget the paint....it's all about chrome rims. Your wheels will be so shiny, that everyone is blinded. Bling bling!

Just my opinion, red calipers are nice only if they come OEM on the car or you've bought some aftermarket big brake kits e.g. Brembos, Stoptechs... Painted stock calipers may look nice initially but when people walk up close and discover they're painted over stock... well... sometimes it's better not having it then to pretend to have it... ya know what I'm saying?

Some wheels hide the brakes more than others, I think I'm leaving mine the stock color, not much need to paint them if you can't really see 'em.

Your Rotors look great! Did you powder coat them? The stickers really add the finishing touch to them also. I would like to know where you got the S2000 stickers too.
