New Wheels On!!

I got my wheels finally after 8 weeks of waiting. 20" ZE Forged Tach's in full polish with ceramic clear coating.... I put the new brakes on too, hence the reason for the wheels..

Sorry for the poor pics, I let the wife use the DSLR, and she messed with all the settings. I have a show to goto tomorrow, I hope to have better pics of them.

The Brembos are cheap, and perform great, compared to the stockers. Some things I want to change already, is the rotor to a two piece, but it's ok for now. They do dust like crazy though, so these wheels are going to suck to clean.

did you paint the rears black? Slotted/drilled rotors would look excellent

Painting the rears black is on my to do list, and I would love to find someone who sells direct replacement GT500 rotors in a 2 piece with a black hat, but I haven't done much research on it.

This is a GT500 setup, and can be had at the local dealer for under $1500, but FRPP has a kit out that can cost as little as $1000 if you find the right place. I did the dealer route, because our car club gets killer discounts, and I want to support our sponsoring vendors.

What was the other section to which your thread was moved. I do not see that it has been moved.
