I have similar ///M stickers I was going to put on the caliper, just havent done it yet. Im wondering did you use any type of clear coat after the fact. How are they holding up? And your car looks fantastic. I really dig the CF to Jerez contrast. And those wheels...

I was torn between brushed black or gunmetal. I felt brushed looked to silver and I really don't care for silver so I went gunmetal. I does look good on yours though. Problem is there are so few examples of these wheels on our cars to make a educated decision like that.

I just cleaned the calipers with wd40 and then windex, put them on and haven't touched them since. So far so good and I've had the brakes quite hot a few times now on some mountain runs. If they do start to fail for whatever reason I got like 8 more of them on the sheet so I'll just replace them lol. One bad part is the big hole on the caliper they go over. You have to put it on just right or it will fall in the hole.

What's funny is that I was torn between brushed black or gunmetal but ended up choosing brushed black because I wanted more contrast and felt gunmetal might not be "shiny" enough. I had the same problem, there are so few examples of the wheels that it is hard to figure out what it will look like. At least they're pretty unique that way. Gunmetal looks sweet on yours though - so it looks like either one looks good on Jerez!

Haha, first world problems indeed.

The finish is holding up well. I had an incident where my g/f's father dropped one of the wheel nuts while we were removing the rear wheel to install the exhaust which chipped the clear as well as a tiny bit of gloss black.

Of course with brushed black, there is a tinted clear on top of the brushed finish - that was my other concern with matte was that there was not a clearcoat on top to protect it.

The specs on mine are almost exactly the same as yours 19x9.5 ET20, 19x10.5 ET25. Michelin PSS, 275/30/19, 295/30/19

Yea the bare paint is not the way to go trust me. If you sneeze on it while washing it chips! Do you have any rubbing in the back? Mine are 11" so a little more poke and it's lowered. I rub on the lower edge of the fender when driving vigorously. I wish I had of went 9.5 and 10.5

No rubbing, but I'm lowered pretty conservatively on Ohlins RTs since the roads here are brutal. Judging by your pics you are definitely lower than I am. I still rub on larger bumps though.
