Last box from wilwood. Just need some brackets and hoses and I'm all set.
New wheels arrive Thursday for a test fit with tires then off to powder and final install next week.
All smiles today..

C'mon wheels! okey:

Should be nice!  I like the black calipers. 

 

[kbeck59]

When I got my rotors and saw the black finish I thought COOL  ..... 

  DUH !!!  I didn't realize it was a protective finish ... Wish they could be anodized black...

Make  sure you bed the pads properly ... Makes the most  God Awe full Noise bedding them till you get the finish off !!

Also, here are some pics of the stock caliper and rotor set up in the explorer, for anyone considering the big brake kit.
Any sho/flex guys wanna chim in and give opinions on if this looks to match sho/flex?
Thx

Looks like its the same as the sho.

Thanks for the update and pics.  I'm not a fan of black wheels unless they have machined rims but I love how those spokes are laid out.

Those wheels are MONEY, and will look BIG MONEY after the powdercoat :thumb:

Please be sure to take some shots of the new rim/tire combo from BOTH the front, and the rear, so as to show not only the amount of "meat" resting on the pavement, but also how they sit in relation to the body lines.

Those side shots of your test fitment are nice, but give us all the angles when they come back from powder coating puhleeze.... k:

What's the weigh of those bad boys?

 

[bigmoneycloser]

Will definitely get plenty of pics when installed.
They are wide ass hell..
Not sure on the weight, but definitely lighter the m 24's...

 

[kbeck59]

Looks the same as the SHO .... Dust coverplates behind stock rotors will need to be removed before  B/B Wilwood Kit install .... Like the wheels !!

 

[bigmoneycloser]

Wheels set to install Wednesday... As long as they are back from powder tomorrow.
I will post pics Wednesday night if all goes well. And my current wheels are already sold...

Good progress.  Hope your schedule works out.
