They are the wheels that came with the touring package in 98.

I am so glad I got the 278mm rotors/brackets/greenstuff pads though. I see so many cars get up on my ass and when I barely tap the brakes, their noses are diving, and sometimes I hear the tires screech!!! ehehe '98 Tropic Green Tour SE Sport V-6 ATX "I promise I wont modify it honey, it's a family car!"

I really need to upgrade my brakes and I was also thinking about just slapping on the SVT package. I haven't priced it, though. Whose got good aftermarket brake packages, front and rear? ------------------ jonpreston5@hotmail.com ChickenhawkRacing@hotmail.com 1998: #4415/6535 mods: Sheet metal screws in rear chrome strip Four wobbly corners "Hey, do you like apples?"
