but to not ensure that they will clear AP's after what i can only presume will have been a fair bit of expense on his behalf to me seems like a bit of a schoolboy error????
How many of you guys would buy these wheels even if it meant taking your AP's off and going back to standard brakes ?

all i was saying is that if i had had them made/developed this would have been the first thing i made really sure of. Not many people want 18" wheels with standard brakes behind them especially some of the guys on here who run stage 1 + as the brakes are essential with that sort of power. I really really hope that the wheels do fit over AP's,hi spec etc so everybody will go out and buy some and then rondells/engells will become rare again

Just seen them on a car at National day. The guy had Hi Spec 6 or maybe 4 pots on the front with easily 330 disks on it & the Hi Spec 4 pot rear conversion as well.
The front brakes looked a tight fit but the Rear brakes looked fine.

I would love a set of those but I'm not buying untill I know who manufactured them, etc...
A rim is WAY too important for a car to not know to what spec it was made.
