Default Am I forgetting anything (wheel order)

Again ordering my wheels this week and want to make sure I don't forget anything.

Here's what Im getting:

DNA
21x3.5 front
18x4.25
2 rotors
Pulley



Do I need to get a pulley spacer, and chrome wheel spacers?
Do I need different brake pads?

Anything else?

Whoever installs the wheels should have Spacers. You can also get the Indy to install Chrome wheel spacers as well. I painted mine black during the install.

Brother, its gonna look SOOOOO GOOOOOD.

Rotor's bolt on with no Spacer, Pulley will need a spacer, place where your ordering from will know the size you require & be able to obtain it ( I take it rotors & pulley will be DNA to, that is! )

Standard wheel spacers will fit but you'll need chrome ones, as the standard ones will look like s**t with that set up & stand out! & Chrome hardware!

I would & did use new brake pads with new rotors!

Oh & don't forget the tyres! LOL! (or should I say tires for over there!)

hey kozy...

i am thinking about getting the wheels too...
but cant decide on the sizes..
cant wait to see your pics once installed...

based on the wheel sizes you have decided on,
are there any fender mods?

i thought of getting both 16's front and back to save
on the tires..but people here are saying that defeats the purpose.
i wonder how much taller it will ride..
cant wait to get a feedback from u...

is it possible to PM me the price you paid for everything?
i'll see if i have to take out a mortgage..

thanks brother

Chrome forks, Chrome calipers, and braided lines, seriously makes a difference.

I have chrome forks, I like the black lines for contrast might need to get calipers
