I believe macadamia was a special order color available only in the '08 MY, but Porsche has brought back a lighter version for the '13 MY 991.
We are talking about the color of his calipers, right?

As Henry Ford once said, "You can have any color you want as long as it's black."
Black is awesome when clean but to own a shiny black Porsche is akin to tempting an obsessive-compulsive disorder to take hold of you. If you can confine this disorder to just the car, you'll be ok. I own one...wait, I see a spot on the floor, I have to go an clean now...

They look like OEM centerlock wheels. Champion RS20 CL wheels also look like that and I believe HRE makes some as well with the same design.
