Default Getting Ready To Bite The Bullet
Well I'm getting ready to bite the bullet & place a order with Drew for some fat daddy 50 spoke wheels & tires. Would it be ok to keep my stock rotors or should I get some new ones to match the wheels? Meaning, will it look better with matching rotors. The wheels will be all black with polished nipples.

Well without any pics of what you have now or what you're putting them on how can we tell what would look best?

Rotors make a world of difference. If you haven't done the pulley yet I would do that at the same time while you have the wheels off.

I thought about keeping the stock pulley & just powder coating it the same color of black as the wheels. I'll get with Drew & get pricing on the rotors & pulley. Trying to keep cost down as much as possible. Haha
