They look great. Welcome to the Adv1 club

Are you going with a 305 or 295 out back?

As far as brake dust, dump the OEM pads and go with Project Mu. I made the switch and my Adv1's stay clean for days, needing just a quick wipe from time to time.

Much thanks man I'm very excited I'll have the pics up Thursday afternoon of them mounted along with my new carbon fiber spoiler. It was funny while touring the facility I was looking at the rims in build process with the work order and each one said Lamborghini or Ferrari or Enzo or M5 lol now those guys are ballers!
