Thumbs up Chrome Rotora 6 Pot Fr / 4 Pot rear Installed

Here they are

I must say in person they absolutely set the car off in a whole new way... The 14" rotors fill up the 19" gold Challenges like they were meant for each other!

Here are some pics

Breaking feels GREAT!! She stops on a dime... I have not had a chance to really test them out yet since I am having Vortech issues and a oil leak that is like a smoke screen ATM... I hope to have it all worked out by tomorrow and have the car back Tues AM.

You should head out to the Pavillions this Sat night... I most definately will be there

Thanks

I am going to get some better pics taken... My camera sucks bad and the colors do not seem to be poping to me...

What do you think about Chrome Door handles? ... I have a friend telling me it would tie it all in together.... I am very unsure about that though...

Wow! That's definitely very nice! Great job!

I say no to the chromed door handles. IMO...it's going to be overkill. I think it looks perfect the way you have it now.

I love how they sit crazy close to the rim/barrel trimming of the SF-challenges. It really sets off the wheels.

the problem with the caliper being so close to the edge of the wheel though is the air cooling isn't as good. The rotor is bigger and can support more heat, but because there's less air flowing around the caliper and rotor, they'll have a harder time getting the heat off of them. The wheel will also be more likely to soak up that heat and raising your tire pressure more and changing the handling of the car

that's all track issues though, never a problem on the street


the combo does look nice

Where your wheels polished originally? How was it done since the face is gold I am curious I might do my RH the same, looks great by the way!

These are 2 piece wheels... I had the centers taken out and chromed the barrells.


Oh, and there is more room behind those wheels than ya think... It is an optical illusion, I can fit a finger back there.
