I got my rims last week from OEWheels llc and put them on and they look fantastic. (will put pics up in a bit) The first thing I noticed though when i put them on was how bad my brakes looked. Any Suggestions? I know i want to replace rotors and pads. Calipers I want to give a good solid cleaning to but not sure if I should paint them or not. A friend suggested covers for the calipers but I think that is a s*** way of doing things. What do you guys think?

 

Wow you had the same issue I had. Check out my build log from the linky in my sig and scroll around a little and you will see what I did to help the brakes out on my Sarah.

P.S. PICS WE NEED PICS!!

 

Here are a couple of pics:

 

Massey,

By the way what a great company to order wheels from. Not only did they come mounted and balanced but they shipped them to me 3 weeks early because another customer had re-****ed on a order he made and it was the exact same set that I ordered.

 

Paint them. Cleans the up alot. Or we can trade rims?

 

you should paint the calipers. For extra flair, try this:

Fourth Circle Designs, LLC

 

Haha no I think I am good. I absolutely love these rims and I could not be more satisfied with them.

I got question for the painting of the calipers. How often do you have repaint them? I heard quite frequently. What do you guys think?

 

Just get some high heat paint for brake calipers and you should be good for a while.

How much is it for those rims?

 

It was 11 hundo. But that got the tires mounted and balanced. They came with nexen 3000 tires which so far seem pretty good. Have driven on them much though. It was pretty good deal and I know Massey buffaloZ28 bought their rims from the same company.

 

Alright you wheels guys I need some help, I can't decide between three different styles

17x9.5 zr1s or other idk yet
18x???
Or the 17s with the 17x11 in the back

Recommended me stuff and what YOU think looks best

I am looking more for looks than performance also and I like the wide tire look ..(who doesn't)
