    sometimes i just wish the wheels werent so close to the brake caliper. they scratch the wheels from time to time just a tiny bit on the inside of the barrel, thats how close im talking...

    i guess thats my fault for buying 15's, i just wanted them as light as possible :wink:

    Light wheels are very nice. One other issue is that you can't go with a BBK if you want. For me the stock brakes are pretty darned good.
