And you forgot the people who setup their cars with the most expensive high end track parts but never go (and/or if they ever do they're slow as ****)

They don't seem to flow as well on the back side from the pics I've seen. They don't have the little bolts that are suppose to help with rotor knock back either. This is something I've wondered about but haven't seen any firm answers too. .

First feedback on these 18" rims. They are customized for the GTS/Brembo BBK.
People who run the Brembo BBK on the rear axle might need to modify the bolts which connect callipers to the bracket, otherwise the heads of the bolts could rub at the rim. No spacers required and stock bolts can be used. I run the combo 265/35-18 and 295/30-18. No rubbing at any time. |

Anyone know if these are more or less than the 19" F1's? And will they fit the regular Brembo 380mm BBK? .

I'm sure the Brembo calipers are great, but the OEM style rotors not so much. Beautiful wheels OP, lucky you! |

They should fit Stoptechs easily if they fit Brembo's. Quote:
Are the rotor size and thickness the same? I'm just confused because I thought the GT kit have an aluminum center, but you say the GTS rotors are lighter? .

AUS - well these 18's aren't on the market - none of the BBS dealers and even BBS north america doesn't have it... so technically there's no competition

Well unfortunate I did not see tlp s Post, but if somebody should get banned it is me, since I was the bad guy who ordered these rims in my custom specs.
tlp is an enthusiast like me and I am pretty sure he just wanted to show the community what is possible if someone really wants. To sad that good guys are handled like this |

Over wheels BBS USA probably doesn't even know exist. I don't think he was selling anything. I know he just got some 19" in standard specs but DBK color. I'm wondering if the timing got someone suspicious? .
