Well I tried this before I guess I will try it again.

Got a nice new set up for my car recently. The weather finally cleared just enough to get my car in the garage so we could swap out the wheels. Took both sets to the tire place for them to switch the sensors and put my new tires on.. We have run into a slight problem in that the rear wheels need spacers but aside from that all is going well. They are not on the car yet being we are waiting for the spacers but here is a little preview of how she will look





Rear wheel test fit


Keeping the embossed logo caps



Wayne making them all nice and shiny



Nice and new


Difference from the old Y2K's


And for those of you that are worried about how ickies (hehehe) my rotors look...These will be going on soon with some new pads and a nice set of black calipers with silver lettering



What's next? Hmmmm... Guess you will just have to wait and see
