Its a good feeling getting wheels like that in isn't it? The part that sucks is having them and seeing them sit in their boxes because your car isn't ready for the wheels to be put on yet.

1. paint the calipers and backing plates.
2. get some nice drilled/slotted rotors
3. TIRE SHINE not to much though just to get a little shine on those tires of your

Those rivets look like they would be a PITA to clean but those look great for black rims. And bigger, cleaner brakes would look awesome behind those!

PLEASE don't get drilled and slotted rotors. If you are going to spend money on brakes, buy something that will improve performance. Not decrease it.

Depends how much bling he wants. If he was to get quality drilled and/or slotted rotors and quality pads he will have improved performance over what he has now. And the warping problem that is so common with Fbody brakes should be gone. But, the rotors will crack over time if driven hard.

So what are the offsets on the wheels, what tire sizes?

By the way, Sweet set of wheels!
