Akebono + RB 2pc Installed

For those curious, the rims are Nismo Maxima A34 19" rims. It clears the kit quite a bit!

Forgive the mess, it's been raining.

Hey Mike, looks awesome. I think I PM'ed you about your rims a while back because I was curious about what they were. Enjoy you Akebonos, but not too much.

Thanks guys

Dr. G, of course i remember! Were you able to find a similar wheel?

Maz, the weather's been weird around here (strong rain yesterday, chilly 40mph winds today but i'll take a better photo for you when i can... here's the unedited (albeit cropped) photo. It's a PG. I messed up the exposure on this one, the blue caliper is a bit brighter in reality.

Love the rims they look great on a sedan, I bought them real cheap for my Maxima just before they were discontinued and sold them shortly after for twice what I paid. If you ever want to sell them hit up the max crowd they will pay top dollar for them as they're nearly impossible to find now.

Wow! Brakes look amazing, Mike. Lovin' that pics in front of the soccer goal, and that color Blue really turned out great!!

Oh, and how did you keep your racing brake rotors looking so clean!?!?! LOL

One more comment, Mike... You may want to check the direction of rotation on the rotors. From the looks of it, you've got the directions reversed... they are actually supposed to be installed the opposite of what you'd think, with the slots curving against the normal forward rotation.

I've seen them go both ways, and have many people argue that they can be swapped either way. Does anyone have a definite answer with proof?
