Pics of New Wheels and Painted Calipers

Here's some pics of my wheels and rotors. The wheels are KMC "240 Unit" - 16s. The rotors are painted black using the Duplicolor kit. I dropped the nose with Eibach Sportlines (2" drop) and the rear with the "Heater Hose" mod (1/2" drop). The stance and look is exactly what I wanted.

Tires to look a little too beefy. What's important is that you like it.

The front tire is stock size. The rear is slightly larger. Looks bigger 'cause the wheels look smaller and because of the rake?

I have the heater hose mod on the back of mine at the moment (with the stock 275 40 17) and the gap is much more pronounced. What size did you go with and how bad did they throw off your speedo?
