I didn't bother to spring for the alloys. What for? To show off the drums in the rear? Also, don't the 16's make the front rotors look awfully small? Not to rag on the brakes; I'm sure they're more than adequate for a car of this size and weight, but let's not pretend this is something it isn't. Maybe the kids will love it and I'm too old to understand, but I think I'll stick with the steelies this time around.
