Default drilled slotted/gold caliper/black oem rim

Thought I'd share some of my recent changes.
rims are getting powder coated in few weeks so i thought I'd change them up until then.

I'll try to post VLED 6000K with purple tint HIDs soon.

Opinions are welcome.
enjoy

nice set up. I am planning to go with the same setup also.

Where did you buy the rotors at?

i personally would have gone w/ slotted only rotors, but it's visually unique.

i do have to admit that it's growing on me, though.

Looks outstanding - I love the gold calipers! What color do you plan on powdercoating the wheels?

Drilled? What people do for fashion never ceases to amaze me.
