For the wheels, the best route to go is to get them powdercoated. I'm not too knowledgable on that thing, so I'll let an expert step in when they arrive. The calipers too can be powdercoated, or, for a lower price, you can go to pretty much any automotive store (I went to Pep Boys) and buy the Duplicolor caliper painting kit. It comes with everything you need and cost me $15. You can choose from red, silver (that's what I got), and blue.
