Default Brembo Grand Turismo brake package

Does anyone out there happen to know of a good wheel setup to run with larger brakes up front? I've been running with the Chinese aftermarket jiggle junk and I'm sick of em! Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

It kinda depends on your wheel budget. Be honest as to what you can afford.

I guess I'm not clear as to what you have and what you are trying to accomplish.
What "Chinese aftermarket jiggle junk" are you referring to?
Do you already have the Brembo BBK?
If you do, what is the Brembo product number.

Help me help you!

I run the the z06 rear wheel at all four corners. It allows you to run the bigger brakes up front. I run the six piston 355 mm up front. No real issue, there is just a touch of rubbing at full stock lock, so I just adussted the lock stop a bit.

Sorry to derail slightly, but any chance you can share how you adjusted this?

Here are a couple of posts. You just need a collar.

Well a few years back I bought C6 Grand Sport Replicas. 19x10's with 5/16" spacers. They never would balance out properly. I'm surprised I used them for this long honestly. Just bought some new Motegis and hope I'll be satisfied. I'll post pics once installed. Thanks for the replies fellas!

We are not talking about replicas here. We are actually talking about the speedline wheel with a GM part number. No cheap wheels here. I got mine from forum member house of wheels. There are many post on the racing part of the forum talking about the z06 speedline as one of the best wheels you can use: light weight and strong. There are no spacers needed and no balance issues
