Good bye, 18x8 OZ wheels. Hello, 18x9.5 WedsSport wheels. Still re-used the 255/55 tires, and am observing a firmer, livelier sidewall compared to when I had 8" wide rims. Attachment 408064 Attachment 408065
Looks good. But does this mean you now have one black rotor (fronts) and the rear are silver?
The black coating is to prevent corrosion during storage and on parts untouched by the brake pads during regular use. After a few miles, the section of the rotors in contact with the pads turns silver, as its black coating gets eaten/scraped off. Here's what it looks like after a little over 190 Km (120 mi):
The slots don't offer any increase in stopping power, to be honest. That's the more aggressive pad compound's job. They just prevent glazing from prolonged aggressive use, which has happened in the past:
My apologies for the rotated photos. They seem to default back to their rotated state even after I try to edit them before upload.

Pwahhhh All the way up in the NT! I'd be instrested to find out how it deals with the heat! So much heat soak for the Turbo!
Nice ride by the way and Rad colour!

Thanks mate, will be interesting to note if there is any impact on performance as the weather cools down and heats up. It's technically our dry season so should be relatively cool, but the real cold spell hasn't quite arrived yet.
