I plan to get the rear disk conversion at some point, but at this moment I don't have the money to do, I need to save up for a month to kinda stabilize myself again... those rims set me back more than I expected it to. I'll probably pick up some gloss black and some gloss red over the weekend and paint my calipers, a friend of mine wanted to do his calipers on his Grant Am GT so it'd be a good weekend project.

the first time I painted mine black, I didn't take them off and I didn't manage to paint anything other than the calipers. The second time, when I painted them, I took them off, because the old paint had to be stripped off.
