montanass Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Wuts a good place to get 16" brakes??? wut brand>?Several companies make 16" brake kits, Baer and Wilwood for sure, even TByrne carries them. There's a european manufacturer as well, can't remember the name off the top of my head though.

misterp Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Thomas Byrne is a SilveradoSS site supporting vendor, his banner is at the top of the page. http://www.tbyrnemotorsports.com/ I don't have any idea who would be a good Brembo vendor.

r8rs4lf Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 wut u talking about R8? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What I'm saying is that for some people, those wagon wheels still wouldn't be big enough. Sometimes bigger isn't better and those 26's are just too damn big. Why not get some 30's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevySSandChevy8.1 Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Different people build different kinds of truck. With 26 inch rims he obviously building a show truck more than a track truck. I personally wouldn't go larger than 24s, but the 26 gives him a wow factor to the vehicle, as the vehicle is riding on basically the rim. Its like slamming a truck, it reduces the functionaltiy but looks cool. I wouldn't rag on the guy just cause his tastes are not performance orientated. I think it would make a pretty good show truck. Truck looks good by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
