looks sick, love the wheels

you can already see where youre going to get the rust ring. that 1/4" around the black where the pad doesnt touch.

i painted my rotors with the same caliper paint i used on my calipers and they look great. once i have them all on the car ill post pics.


also someone said are they backwards? No, theyre on the right direction, they came with slips in the boxes saying rotation direction so if yours are on the other way you got em on backwards.
