I hope you got a big break upgrade, cause if they are stock, its gonna look funny...

But I'm sure you will enjoy them anyway

thanks guys, i would post some pics of them on, but the adapters won't be here for a couple of weeks

as far as the brakes, I'll probly just paint the stock rotors and drums. I don't have enough money for big brakes right now.

I put those rims on my IROC in Gran Turismo 4. They definitely look good on the third gens.

Just make sure your brakes are clean, and no one will ever notice.

yea, thats the one thing i gotta do is get my brakes really clean, not sure if i wanna paint them cause i think it looks too riceish.

I found out my spacer won't be here for a couple of weeks, but it gives me somthing to look forward too.

I'll get pics up as soon as possible

Exact same wheels on my Bird and I LOVE them!! They are one of my favorite wheels for our cars personally yet not many thirdgenners seem to have them. It's better that way I guess

Also, they really don't show the brakes that much. Your brakes are going to be even less noticeable because these wheels use spacers so you won't see the front brakes well anyway. I have wimpy stock brakes and you can't really see them well.
