I've been buying wheels since the late 80's, and worked in the automotive industry for 15 years, so I already knew the offset was "incorrect". But did I care... No. I wanted this wheel because they were unique, 2-piece and I really liked the elegant design. I also didn't want to blend in like everyone else with today's positive offset wheels or cheap cookie cutter designs people tend to gravitate to.

I'll make the corrections needed to re-adjust the camber, and then move on... It really isn't a big deal.
I hear ya. If you like it that's all that matters. Maybe consider some flares since the wheel sticking up that far out will cause tons of chips on the side of the vehicle.

Had my new aftermarket brakes installed today. They came out nice, but the shop wasn't done until dusk, so I didn't have time to clean her up and take some glamour photos.

@ProfeZZor X Feedback on breaking aspect please :)
The shop that installed them was less than a quarter mile from home so I didn't get a chance to drive very far to put any miles on it. Plus it was already dark and rush hour traffic was at its highest, so I figured I'd just wait it out until the next day.

I'll give you guys some feedback on the stopping power once I break them in, which might take a few days of rotor wear in.

Well? :) I need to know if I should upgrade or if I'm just not used to stopping such a large vehicle.

I live in the San Fernando Valley in SoCal, so I'm literally surrounded by mountains. The grades aren't that bad, but there are a few in the canyons that will definitely test your braking skills. Not to mention the stop and go traffic here every day (including weekends). I'll try to make it out this weekend to do more thorough testing to see what these Brembo's are capable of.

If I had to sum up my one-week experience using them daily, I would have to say they're more of an ornament than anything. Mind you I still haven't encountered a hard braking scenario, so I can't definitively dismiss their stopping capabilities just yet.

Installed my own rear seat entertainment. I hard wired the monitors and ran the wiring thru the seats for a factory look

Looks good! Can you give more details? What software, monitors, mounts, problems or considerations that you needed to make?

Nothing crazy exciting this weekend. Finally installed my auto-start/stop eliminator behind the switch panel and got screen protectors installed on the RSE and front display. Will post a seperate review on the screen protectors. Found a website that sold them for 21+ Yukon Denali and they were nearly perfect cuts and went right over the screen to hopefully save me from a kiddo breaking one someday.
