Got my wheels on!

Finally got my new wheels on, and painted my calipers.

I know that most of you are going to hate the calipers because its not a BBK or even Brembos, but it's the best I could do for now.

Will the brembos that come stock fit on the stock 17" wheels? The 6 spokes

I'm going to be using those in the winter, and my 19"s in the summer, so I need a BK that will fit both setups.

Got myself some MRR GT5s, new for 08, and Falken FK452 tires which so far are loud, but good otherwise

Get to drive 3 hrs tomorrow, so we'll see how it works

Here are some pics for now until I can get it clean and actually have nice weather for a shoot!







I like the caliper decals, and this is all there is, one of these on either side of the front calipers





...I think the mod bug just bit me.. time for:

Tints
Clear Corners
Brake kit
Drop?

if you don't want to go too low, just drop the front a half inch with g coupe springs. It should even out with the rear. Won't look stock, won't look slammed.

The stickers on the calipers might look better if you curve them to match the lines on the calipers. And cleaning the gunk off the outside of the brake pad will make it look like you really care.

I went with 245-40- 19 FK452 tires... So far the only problem with them is that they are loooud, but they're good otherwise, and the price is great

Nice work. Like some of the others I'm not a fan of the caliper stickers but to each their own.

I don't believe the oem brembos will clear the stock sedan 17's.

But they will clear coupe 17's which are a perfect fit on the sedan.
