Old School Rims

[bhonnold at pac-cap.com (Brian Honnold)]

What we really should be asking Raf is why they would choose those boat
anchor girling g60's?????

My recommendation would be to use four pot willwood calipers and stock 16v
rotors.  The calipers weigh 2.5lbs each and require the same type of adapter
to fit.  

Best of all they fit under even 14inch wheels.
