Just installed new wheels
I got tired of cleaning the stock turbine wheels, so I upgraded to these; 19"x8.5 and 19x9.5.

One of my favorite wheels. They look very nice. The turbine wheels are truly a ***** to clean. I still run stock brake pads too so after just a few miles, I am cleaning them again. At least unlike many, I like the way they look when clean.

I definitely agree that turbine wheels looks awesome clean. I got my Akebono pads while I still had my turbine wheels and they made a huge difference. You might want to look into a set. Very reasonably priced at autopartswarehouse.com.
