Default Pics of my new grocery getter...

Picked up a nicely used 04 GX w/20k miles and threw on some 22" Black Chrome Boss 313's wrapped in 305-40-22 Hankook Ventus RH06 rubber. I couldn't be happier! I can't believe how much better the car handles with the new set up and from an asthetics standpoint...it now "fits in" better in the OC.

Here are a couple of pics...let me know what you think.

Looks ok except now the brake rotors look positively tiny. They look like they came off a Dodge Neon. Are those rotors the same size as the original rotors that came on the GX?

Yep. They are the exact same size as factory. Unfortunately they have to be very small to fit in the factory 17in wheels. This is why people (including myself) have issues with warped rotors...they are too small for a car this heavy. I hope that the extra cooling from the drilled rotors will help keep them from warping under hard braking.

by the way... Sweet ride
