Default TSW interlagos and stoptech

Finished the install today, it was over 100 degrees in Texas for day number 78 in a row (ok not really but it was hot)





bonus pic of steering wheel install i did about a month ago but just finished up, the damn horn button kept falling out, so i added a red ring to hold it all together.

The more I see those TSW's, the more I like them. What sizes did you get?

Yet, even with the camera out you couldn't take pics of the old PS2's J/K. I really like the rims and am close to pulling the trigger on those exact sizes and reusing my 295/35 rear ExtremeContact DW's.

Those wheels look really good. Almost like the Caravaggio wheels for the C6 I think.

What 315s did you go with on the rear? I can see the front has Michelin PS, but don't want to assume....

Do you think a 295/35/18 would look ok on them?
