Pimpin' aint easy

I recently installed my crossed-drilled/slotted rotors,painted caliper brackets, ZO6 caliper's and EVO Lightning rims with Nitto's (275/30/19's).
I got the rims/tires from a "senior" ls1tech member today and am VERY impressed with these rims.
It's makes the car so much noticeable.
I still have to bleed the brakes again, my pedal became hard then soft and then hard again. So I think I need to bleed them again, may have some air still in the lines.

Let me know what you guys think.
I will try an get better pics with better background, I just took these after slapping everything back together.

Looks killer, I personally would not go bigger then 18, but hey, it still looks sweet.

By any chance you still got the Firehawk rims, and weren't yours chromed??? If so, I may be interested. Let me know.

It was hard to tell in the sig pig...with the painted ones it depends on what angle you take the shot...in alot of my pics, they look white, others they look chrome.

Are you interested in selling the Firehawk wheels (maybe even tires)? I love those wheels, silver or chrome. Let me know what you want for them if you are looking to get rid of them.

Those wheels really set the car off, but I already knew they would!
