Looks really good, is there a certain size of rim you have to have to fit those rotors?

Be sure to pump them before you even think about moving out of park!

well if you bleed the brakes you shouldn't have to worry about it. what is talking about is when you do a brake job and compress the caliper you have to pump the brakes up till the piston moves out taking out the space between the pads and rotor.

i'd just do it for safe measure, if it feels spongy at first.
