$1600 for wheels and toyo tires (245x35x20). Got the cross drilled rotors for $250 for all four.

Rotors were custom made by OC Autosports. Their normal pattern is one drilled row per one slot. You'll have to call them up for that.

wow! That looks really good! black rims on a white car gives it a nice contrast! Just drop it with Eibach pro-kits and you're golden!

Does the rotors get rusty when you have water on them? similar to the Stock ones?

$105 for each I think, if I remember correctly. I called them. Ask for Devon, or I'm sure any rep would be fine.

They come with a silver zinc coating on them for free. Protects from rust. But in the area that the pads come in contact with the rotors, the zinc comes off in that area. Doesn't rust up because as soon as you apply the brakes, off it goes.

any difference in braking with the rotors? I have been considering since I got my 20's

I asked for double slots since the guy told me slots are what gives it the braking power. Big difference. They do make a little bit of noise in the rear though, but it's well worth it. I got the cliffhanger design where the slots go all the way out to the edge.

I'm a meter-reader for SoCal Gas and I've always admired you car, haha. I read all the streets (Hope, Morningside, etc.) around your house except yours, weird. So when I'm on my route, I would drive by your house slowly and check it out, lol. So if you see a guy with a white Gas Co. Chevy Cavalier, it's me. I used to drive my new 8th Gen on my route until they gave me a company vehicle, man, did that sucked ass...

HI ALL, it my opinion, nice car. I cant afford something like it. But the rims are ugly, fake allen bolts just dont work anymore. If they were REAL three piece rims., well OK. But not no more; maybe hyperblack or hypersilver. Chrome, or really cool OEM chrome. But what ever it just my opinion; THEIR UGLY, :puke: they dont fit the car personality. But you like you buy :banana:

Okay, but what's your zip code so I can see what they can do on freight too. You don't have to post it in here, just PM me. I'll give them a call later on this week.

What a small world. I was getting freaked out at first. haha... I'll keep an eye out for ya.

Sorry my friends. You've got bad taste! j/k. How fun would that be if we all drove around white 8th gens with black rims. Our meets would look so plain. :puke:

looks clean, i'm not generally a huge fan of black face polished lip though.


i actually really like TSW's, they don't have the name brand like JDM brands and other big name companies, but i seldom hear complaints about them. for the price they seem like a decent wheel :)
