Its weird, when I had the stock 18s on no one noticed the brakes, once I put on the Volks everyone is like, where you buy those brakes, or wow those brakes are sick. These are people I see on almost a daily basis!!!

Why worry about someone who obviously knows little about cars? If they can't recognize that the calipers are larger than average or see the Brembo name they don't know much about cars. They're also colour blind since the calipers are gold not orange.
I've had lots of comments on mine but always saying nice brakes or asking if they factory brakes or aftermarket.

Only one person so far said she doesn't like the gold brakes and she's a girl. Other than that I just catch every other person looking at them on the road as I pass them or they pass me, and that makes me feel like I'm cooler than them.
