Default call for wheel help

I think that over the Winter I will, amongst other things, change my wheels. Unforunately I don't have an entirely free reign to get any wheel I take a fancy to because of my front calipers being so big.

So can anybody with Brembo front calipers chime in with their wheel choice and a picture if possible.

Brembo have the fattest of calipers so this call out is strictly for Brembo owners. Wheels which wrap around Baer etc are probably no use to me sadly.

Is the Caliper on the GT500 the same as the Brembo Gran Turismo Caliper? I believe they are but perhaps somebody knows 100%

Thanks

MM&FF did a GT500 Brenbo upgrade and specifically used GT500 wheels
for proper fittment. They said that not all wheels fit the Brembo brakes
so to be safe, they went with the OEM wheels. Hopoe this helps.
