You already have the 4piston calipers & want to upgrade to Corvette brakes??? You goin 200 mph a lot???

Aftermarket rims.... try ebay... or search the web for them...

or

Don't get 16" rims... they aren't that common & tires are more expensive in that size. You do know that to put on modern "Honda style" rims you'll need adapters... right?
