Well at least my car will have disc brakes on all 4 wheels...unlike the go carts

I am going with the CB Performance Roto Hubs on the rear and replacing the front rotors and pads. Everything is ordered. I hope to get the parts at the beginning and the wheels at the end of next week.....I will still have to paint them before installing. I am currently debating about painting the calipers and clear coating the polished parts of the rims.

i know a psycho and then there is Tucker PowderCoating (i think that is their name). expect around $50 a rim though. may be more than you want to put into them considering what you just did. but then again, all the more reason to protect them.

Thanks,
I think I will spray some clear coat on the polished parts and then paint the spokes black.

Just got the wheels back today. They look good, I am going to paint the spokes and leave the polished lip as is. It will look "old school" (at least I think it will) but suits the theme of the car.
