I couldn't drop it much even if I wanted to, the roads around here are too bad

Nice, the only problem I have noticed is that with such wide tires it is so hard to keep my car clean! I go over one dirt road and it looks like I just went wheeling, even if I only do 5mph over the road.

Instead of painting the calipers my not snag a set of black Brembos off eBay. They are usually black and would look great with those wheels.

It's a good idea, but it is a lot more than I would like to spend.

I know the feeling and many can attest that the design of the S197 just gets dust and dirt all over the back half of the car on any drive!

Haha ya, well my dad loves red and I do too actually. My mom is the only different one, with a white Tahoe, the rest are red Fords, the Dodge barely in the pic isn't my families. My dad has owned red F-250's and nothing but since he got his license lol.

Thanks for all the compliments guys!
