dirty pictures
Recently put tires and wheels on the TR Vert.
I was asking a couple of weeks ago about the red calipers amd wether I should buy new ones to put on, and that's what I did and ceramic brake pads to get rid of the majority of the brake dust. I went with the black motosport wheels with the machined face. I ordered them from House of Wheels. The red calipers I ordered from a GM vendor on EBAY. The Kumhos and the ceramic brakepads from Tirerack. When you change to non run-flats (which I also did on my last Vette) it makes the car way more enjoyable regarding noise, comfort, handling, and lane changing. It is a night and day difference. When the newbies ask about the first mod- that is what should be recommended is non run flats. Oh, and I never got a chance to wash it before the pics, hence the caption.. They were s'posed to lower it, but ran out of time, so that'll be this coming week.
