Well despite all the ******** that happened I finally got my rims and put them on yesterday afternoon ( as soon as I got them lol) So far so good....I'm going to the shop tomorrow to get them balanced and an alignment (little bit of vibration in the steering wheel on the expressway) They only rub at full lock in reverse and not very bad at all... anyways heres pics...and yes the first thing you will notice is my hideously rusty wheel hubs :banghead: What should I do about this?

looks good

take each wheel of one at a time and use black caliper paint. paint everything you can see. then I take some brake clean and clean where the pads will touch the rotor. If there's a little paint left where the pads hit the rotor, when you hit the brakes it will remove the paint anyways.

and please just do black.

I'll be doing mine this weekend (since I just got new pads and rotors) and I'll take some pics if you want me to

Also get some new rubber ASAP! looks like a lot of camber wear on the outside of the tires.

Haha good call. All you need is to blow a tire and mess up the rims. I got some cheaper tires as well for the 6's recently. I can justify spending 3 grand on some Nitto 420's anymore.
