Cross drilled, slotted, cadmium (I think) plated. Look sweet as in my opinion. I bought them from the US, had them shipped over here. Cost me about US$300 (including shipping) + fitting ..... if you are interested I can put you in touch with the guy that I bought them through ......

Now you need some bigger calipers.




You should see my Bonneville... Camaro SS rims with Corvette calipers (they say Corvette ) and cross-drilled rotors. It's actually kinda funky lookin' when you look at it as a whole, because it's still a purple granny sedan, but at the same time it's got somewhat of a mean look to it...




BTW, James, you runnin' mud tires on that thing?

Well, an RE01 isn't a mud tire... And I didn't notice the mud... I mentioned the mud tires because it looks like a very meaty tire with big tread blocks!

I think the angle of the pic makes the tread blocks look bigger, the car is actually parked half on / half off the curb, so it is angled towards the camera here ..... the tread blocks are pretty similar to the SO2's .... they are a softer compound though and give far better wet weather handling than the SO2's (IMHO).

Oh, OK.

I'm running A048-LTS Yokohamas... Definitely NOT a rain tire.
