heeeelp BIG BREAK KIT HELP!!!

I have the brembo break kit granturismo version

and i need to find rims that will work does anyone have any idea what i can use and also can i get away with a spacer, having fitment issues due to massive caliper

the onley ones i found that would work was a ssr comp gt-7 and im trying to find a little better looking rim for the car, or i mean one that i balive suites it better
thanks for all you help

We know what you don't like (SSR Comps not good looking enough), but not what you like. It would help if you post an example of what you like so that people can suggest similar versions that would suit your big brakes. You might try looking in the very popular thread "Show me your wheels" to find examples to cite.

 

Very Good Point !

 

VERY GOOD POINT ! im sorry for not posting more its not that i dont like the ssr's just the design is not for me wheather it be a 80 doller rim or 500 doller rim the looks are what it is all about im just really picky about the wheels i geuss the mini is such a statment in itself that i balive the wheels have to do the same it just has to be harmonius i was just curiouse if anyone had the brembos and to what wheels were they running with, or if anyone knew of wheels that would run them, just to build an idea of what i can use for the car

i like 8 to 10 spoke usually polished lip
but any names or ideas or if i can get a wheel with a spacer in their would rock !!!

thanks again for your time!!!

They use a 18" version of the SSR GT1. I don't know if you get these wheels any longer.

Oh, you can try Gramlights. Someone put them on without spacers and he has a set of Stoptechs.

 

Chris,

Check out JCW Driver's gallery. He has the Brembo kit with Motegis. I think he had to use spacers with the stock S-Lites. PM him for info.
I've got some 18" Centerline RPM's that will be going up for sale in the next 2 weeks. :smile:

Dang! and I just bought my wheels too!

The Centerlines are schweet! Had I but known....


4GAZM-
As far as Brembo's go, the calipers are stereroid enhanced. There are very few rims that fit straight up, and as far as spacers, you'll not want to run more than 20 mm max. You'll have rubbing issues (on the underside of the wheel arch)with that setup for sure if the wheels are similar in offset to the S-Lite. With 15 mm spacers, you likely will be better off. 10 is better still. I now need to run at least 7 with the 18" Motegi FF7 to be comfortable, but will use 10's as soon as the set is delivered.

PM me for more info if you like. There are some pics of the setup I have in my user gallery (some old, some new) ...

Here's one...

aw man funny when i called tire rack they told me onley the ssr gt 7 would work, but then again i need an 18, i ended up ordering the wheel max ultra light waight forged 003 8 spoke in gun metal with machined lip, with a 40 mil offset so if i need spacers i can just add if i need them and ill still have a lip on the car, they are prety niffty lookin and clean


and they told me a 95 % chance of no fitment probs, that they were made for the big break kits for high end cars! so i ended up just going with those ill post a pic when they show up, its a two week time frame since they are made to order

thanks everyone for your help

Some of the 5Ziggen parts may also fit. They have monsterous curve spokes on a couple of models.
