Great wheels, but the only thing I don't like about wheels this size is that they make the brakes look so small. Now its time for some big Brembo's to fill up that space!

Im sure you already know what I have to say. It looks like a stagecoach. some lowering springs (Or a ridiculous amount of audio equipment) and some painted wheel arches would look

thats in the plans when i have to get new brake pads. i can notice a difference in braking with the added weight in the rear.

thats also in the plans. megan coilovers and painted arches, handles, gas cap, headlight rings, tinted tails/heads/fogs/side markers, and painted emblem on the back and painted side "S" things

im blacking everything out, the rims will be all black when i do that too. im just using the chrome spokes for now, until all the handles/etc goes black


im even going to paint those little chrome rivets all the way around the edge of the rim black.
