Thanks all! I'm pretty happy with it. It's a shame the clear coat is peeling off the rear wheels. I have heard that happens with most of the black bullitts though.

When you do get around to painting them, you can get new Brembo brake decals here at this link. You can get them in a few different colors too. I went with silver, when I painted mine blue.

Edit: Dude, please don't paint the Brembos red. I also have a red interior so I know where you're coming from, but they look SO GOOD with those wheels I wouldn't change a thing. It's all up to what you want, but seriously, car looks AMAZING.

I KNOW BRO. There is literally no information about it anywhere. I had been looking myself for a long time. The internet had convinced me that they wouldn't fit, but I knew there was so much space between my factory caliper and the wheel spoke that I had to try it.

I had my factory calipers painted red, so at first I thought it looked bland. I am warming to them now though. I wish the Brembo logo was in red!

Seeing your sig with the red calipers, definitely a good choice as well. Looks really good, with just enough "pop" to match the interior. Nicely done!

Just checked out the AFS website and these are 18x9 with a +38mm offset in case anyone wants to know.

What's interesting is AFS states that they offer 20" versions to fit cars with Brembos.
