I'd have to see them mounted on the car to know whether or not I'd want to try and hide them, or make them pop.

Austin will not wait until it's time to rotate tires to do the caliper covers...he doesn't like to remove the wheels for just one mod.

Actually yes. During the bedding process it was stopping on a dime. But then again I never had to slam on the brakes before.

Thanks man, I'm where I want to be now. No more wheel gap. Don't plan on going any lower. Found a scrape on the underside of the A-Spec yesterday And I haven't driven it since I bed them so idk

Austin, don't kill me...but remember how you said you were running the rear SLIGHTLY lower than the front? I'd suggest evening it out...the little extra space you're leaving in the front is giving the illusion that the front tire is "bubblier" than it actually is. If you look, looks like you're running a 50 series tire up front.

Just a suggestion...I'll wait around for your "go fk yourself" response though

Love it Austin. I like the rotors a lot. Tire shine is essential-that's the one thing I'm very cognizant all the time. It's the icing on the cake for a beautiful car like yours. It makes the difference between a beautiful car and a stunning car.

I think the issue is more that the rear wheels could use a spacer, but its hard to tell from the pics.

I'm lurking on my phone lol It's hard to multi-quote on this thing lol

Thanks for all the comments guys.

I think the photo of the whole car was junk lol it's not level at all :/

And if you look at the last real pics I posted I had tire shine. I was busy yesterday and had no time to clean the car.

Yeah I liked the stuff you had. This Z2 is great for making them shine but only for some pictures right after or a show room it wears off very fast.

Does tire shine make the rims black as you drive?
I have gel one, i never use it, because of that.
After couple days, rims get dirty as hell

^No. When applying the gel type stuff it's important to really rub it in and not leave any excess. It won't splatter that way.
