That looks great, well done !!

I think if there is a red layer on the outside of your wheel would make the whole thing look even more sweet.

Looks real good. That's what I hope mine will look like in the spring when I paint them during switch over to summer wheels. If I were you, I would definitely swap out those lug nuts. I had the same (style) that came with the wheels/tire package which rusted real bad. Replaced with some black McGards. As with painting the calipers, it's all in the small details.

they didnt come with the wheels, i got them so i wouldnt scratch the whels to crap ( which i would have had i used the stock lugs) but where did you get the ones your talking about? They look really good!

Cool then....updated to calipers on and fully functional (new fluid etc). Hands?....just mine. Oh, that bolt head that appears rusty has been touched up with a spot of silver enamel and some anti-seize on the threads.

This may be a repost, but those considering a caliper paint job might find it of interest:

Thanks.... I did the painted route with what's offered out there, it just did not last.

The rear drums are off tomorrow to be coated inside and out the same shade black as the front discs. I'll re-finish the insides of the 2 rear rims and that will pretty much catch me up to date on the underside.

Klink10, I see you have sportivo shocks. Did you order them knowing they were sportivos, or did you buy TRD shocks from a dealer/vendor not knowing? Just curious...

Yes I did know....I had checked prior to ordering from Sparks.

Update on previous.....adjusted rear brakes today.......mmmmmmmm better. All rust spots on bolts eliminated. Got my new jack that reaches a lowered car jack points along with new pucks. Waiting now for my Esco's to arrive for the mid-pipe and header install. Enough off topic.
