Pics of New Wheels and Painted Calipers
Here's some pics of my wheels and rotors. The wheels are KMC "240 Unit" - 16s. The calipers are painted black using the Duplicolor kit. I dropped the nose with Eibach Sportlines (2" drop) and the rear with the "Heater Hose" mod (1/2" drop). The stance and look is exactly what I wanted.

Thanks for all the compliments and input.
My paint is in bad condition. I call it a 10-15 feet paint job. Looks good from that far away, up close you see how bad it is. Needs lots of work.
I wanted to go with a wider tire, but then I would not be able to go as tall. I chose tall over wide to get the look I wanted. I didn't want to go with a taller wheel. I like the size I used. I'm kinda "Old School" - not a big fan of big wheels.
Good catch on painted "rotors" instead instead of calipers.
Vann, awesome sig pic!

well, that's pretty daring idea and it works really fine, i'm a fan of old school too and not liking the big rims, but never saw a good example on 4th gen. like this one, good work
