Very nice!

Are those chrome wheels or factory polished? They look like chrome.

Hi kikker -

Really wakes up the look of the wheels and the whole car, huh?

Nice mod - your car is looking great!

I can tell you from personal experience, the green colored tire cleaner at some spray washes will discolor the zinc coating on your new rotors.

Thanks for the pics -

best regards -

To answer both questions in the string...

1. My wheels ARE the polished ones... they look very good though!! Almost Chrome!!

2. Rotors purchased from an Ebay retailer Brake Designs Inc, they are in Anaheim, Ca (714) 626-8818..I dealt with Vic.. very nice shop, I was in Anaheim and picked up the rotors in person.. they let me look around the shop, and then boxed it all up for me like it was being sent out.. all for the same $133.99!!!! I thought it was an excellent price, they have been on the car for a few days, and I have had no problems with them....

Thanks for all the thumbs up!!! It's strings like this that led me to do my own mods...

Sure does wake up the wheels!!!! I appreciate the compliments!!!
As for the zinc coating, I have heard that as well... so before I installed them I painted the fins and the centers with high heat engine aluminum paint I looks good and I hope it will last!!!
