Not to thread jack, and I did try searching. Does anyone know if the 18x8.5 et48 or the 19x8.5 et38 will clear the brembo calipers? There's an ebay seller that has a list that says they fit, but I know how that goes.

I kind think they would clear considering the concave spokes, but I'd have to buy another set of rims that don't clear the brembos.

P.S. the wheel look good. I can't decide on the flat black or chromium black myself.

Great taste! and very unique
Glad you didnt go for the matte black look, which is super played out.

38 will clear brembos. 48 probably but Im not sure. I have +30 with the wilwoods and there is plenty of room. The Wilwoods are also wider then then brembos

Oh yea, Nice wheels man

sorry I couldnt get you those pics

any rubbing issues? I know your sig says dropped 1.7 inches and your running the 235 tire. Im dropped around 2 inches and im running the the 245 tire which caused MAJOR running. I needed to cut out my rear fenders almost flush

Looks very nice.

But does anyone see something weird on a side shot? Nothing bad of course, but it looks like a car I've seen. Like a Lotus Exige maybe?

I can't say that I am a fan of dark wheels.

Rock them if you like them!

Rims look nice, perhaps I'm being biased since I have the same rims on 19's and in matte black, awesome wheels
