I got kore3's c6 zo6 front caliper kit painted to match the cars body. I'm also contemplating flushing my brake fluid. I don't know when the previous owner had that done last.

I went with 265/35/18 front and 285/35/18 rear nitto nt555's. I rolled my fenders thinking that I might rub but I didn't do any mods to get them in. I can probably go with a 295 or 305 rear and just barely fit.

do those tires and rims affect your turning at all? does it rub when you have the wheel turned all the way?

No, my turning radius hasn't changed any. Since I went slightly thinner (265) vs the stock (275) and nittos which run thinner anyway, I'm good.

Pics on the way! I haven't had a chance to wrap up my bbk this week because work has picked up. But I plan on finishing them this weekend and post new pics. I paid about $1300 or so for the set. They are custom made and takes about 6-8 weeks. It took 7 weeks for mine. I got really antsy around 4 weeks, but they are worth the wait. These wheels look really nice in person. I bought them from a member on here named Tony on his website dv8motoring.

Yes! Here are a couple that I was able to get. Work has been crazy, so I haven't had the opportunity to snap some good quality pics. Hopefully this weekend.[/IMG][IMG][/IMG]
