Alliance looks better. Wilwoods stop better. Alliance is huge, but Wilwoods quality build is better. But alliance is still badazz.

And since when did you start caring about performance Strong brakes + no grip up front = useless tire locking

My bet is that he changed up the brakes to run a set of wheels with more aggressive offsets. With Wilwood, you get the BBK look with a very slim profile caliper. Every MM counts...

Am I right?

I still drive like a maniac but then again the comment about performance is not based On my preference for what I like, it is based on facts of what it really is over the alliance. Then again w the way I drive I might need it lol. Wilwood looks hard, but The alliance looks better period that's for sure.

Nail on the hammer!!!!

But fml I think I screwed up on my offsets for the next one lol standard aggressive but not crazy enough. But it's okay I'll prob just get anther set shortly down the road if so, so the wilwood is a set up for a long term wheel goal. This is my 4th rim in 2 1/2 years anyways lol.
