Me likey. Looks real good!

With such an open-looking rim, cross-drilled rotors would look really sweet.

i'm defintely NOT a fan of 18's on a 2.2 that isn't dropped PLUS a body kit... just looks like a monster truck in my opinion... put up the pics after you get the springs, i'd like to see it like that too... maybe it will change my mind!

good grief what itty bitty brakes... do those things even work to stop the car?

Sorry... the wheels look nice and clean... I'm just really suprised that the brakes on the LS/LT are that small.

Don't those have some kinda center cap? Having the hubs showing looks like ass...

The brakes on this car actually work quite well for their size. Their weak point is when you get them hot, they cant take nearly as much stop and go as the SS can. Also with larger tires, it helps to have larger rotors because now you can take advantage of the leverage, so it wouldn't hurt to upgrade them.
