Better pictures of the oil cap

My digital camera does much better in daylight.

Some pics of my new rims again. I reinstalled the big brakes and mounted the front two rims. I'm still waiting for my new black lug nuts which should be here in the next few days.

Those rims are sweet and man I would love to have those brakes. How many of the oil caps do you have and what's the price?

Rims look great! Are those 17s or 18s?

Btw, don't you think those rims while they look good will be a PITA to clean?

I asked because they look a bit small. Not sure if it's the polished lip that make the rims appear smaller than it really is.

Yeah...they look smaller because of the lip and bigger tire size. 245/40/ZR18.

They came with my new rims. All the LE series come with center ap. The GTP, SE and TE center cap are optional.

This one. http://photos.imageevent.com/1max2nv...e/DCP01082.JPG

Basically...Hex bolt, washer, hub, washer, L bracket, washer then the nut.

You want the rotor to be in the center of the groove on the caliper. The following is my poor attempt of ASCII art.

This is the groove [ of the caliper.

This is the rotor --.

This is what you want [--

By using the washers you move the caliper inward or outward. You don't want the rotor to come in contact with the caliper. I will take more pictures of the above when I get the wheels off tomorrow.
