That looks sick. Good to see there are some good options out there that aren't $10k.

That's the best policy, you get what you pay for.

The beauty of the non Z51 brakes is that without even having to change pads your wheels are always clean and spotless, no dirty brake dust.

The wheels look great Glen, they even have a bit of dish, which I wasn't expecting

thanks, just a hint of dish is a good way to put it.... at certain angles it looks it, others not..cleaned the calipers today before mounting, although after 800 miles or so they were still spotless, and rotors have no rust...ever....love these brakes...

Really like those rims on you car, perfect match. Do not think I would like them on my AW car though.

The car looks awesome, good luck with the new wheels

Btw: I think the base brakes look better than z package, the rotors look like mirrors, no rust on the rotors and wheels have zero brake dust !
