They look really nice. I tried to take pictures but it was pretty dark, and they turned out bad. I'll do it tomm.
They are nice, just have a bit of curb chew on them - but its hardly noticeable. The tires look great on them, too. Kumho ecsta 711's.
Next up is putting disc brakes in the back. Those rotors are pansy. I may paint the calipers after the disc conv. as well...I'm thinking black or red. Any suggestions?

Black is pretty obscure. You could put a logo or something on it. Mine are green. Everyone does red, I just like the color green.

a green might look pretty cool on silver...like a hunter green?
does the paint need to be high temp?

Yes, it needs to be high temp. Mine are a lot darker than they appear in my profile. Especially when they are clean.
They are also kind of shiny.

yeah, i had a chance to pick up a set for $250.... now im kicking myself in the ass....
I got them for 250 shipped.
there's some curb chew on them, but for the price, it was worth it.
I'm gonna try different paints to try to match it a bit, to touch up some of the chew - and then go over that with clear nail polish. hopefully that will keep any chipping form spreading. i hope.
it s like night and day compared to the steelies, though.

that tight i waiting for mines to come...did it comes with the lugs and the locks too..i got mine for 400.00 shipped..
i got lucky with the 250. the guy i got them from just couldn;t afford tires, so he sold them to me for what he paid.
the 600 shipped w/ tires is almost worth it, because i paid
250 shipped wheels
238 shipped tires (kumho ecsta 711's)
41.00 for mounting/ balancing
so its almost 6.
these needa bit of work, but by just looking at them, you cant tell at all. Personall,y i think its like night and day with how it looked before.
also- i was owrried about thew heel gap, but after getting them on, it doesn't bother me at all, tghey look great
the 711's are a little loud and have a rougher ride, but its worth it. I've gained like 10-15 more mph around corners than before (it would be more, but i like to stay in my lane at all times)
sorry if i rambled, im drunk/
