Default Almost done with the Upgrades on My SC

I was expecting to get my new wheels and tires on Monday after school but my buddy at Discount Tire Co. Called me this morning to tell me they were in! So i rushed over there to get them on and i must say i although i didn't get much input on the tire size much but after seeing the tires on the new wheels i knew that i had made the right choice I decided to go with 225/35-20s on the front and 275/30-20s on the rear. The only thing left to do is put my silver decals on the brake calipers and i think i am done till summer time. I might actually replace the suspension then but it's not necessary since it drives fine. I figured i post some pictures as a SC owner



Side view



Front Wheel



Rear Wheel



And New Pedals

Thank you so much guys! Bob i used G2 Caliper paint and they turned out pretty good. Scdrop tires are lined up perfectly with the rim but there is no room for curb rub i am afraid and i am going to make sure i don't get too close lol.

so what do you guys think about silver color decals on the brake calipers? I originally had requested white or chrome but they ended up sending me silver ?!

Great Looking Wheels! I like the ISP spider look.
How does it ride? Still pretty smooth?

Your ride looks classy...

Blessings,
Brian
