They're a little bit larger than the brembos and the akebono calipers are thicker by a couple mm than the brembos. If you're concerned about the weight of the rotors you could always get the 2 piece rotors and save yourself a couple pounds. I picked my set up off of the forums here and then sent the calipers off to mike the powdercoater to get done in Porsche yellow
Yea def.^^^^ thats why i wont settle for oem brembos they look too small for me. My ISS's have 19" faces and i know 14" rotors and those calipers will fill that up but im also trying not to add crazy weight to the vehicle if its unnecessary weight.

Ya, just go with the 2 piece rotors then. They're a little bit more expensive but worth the weight savings if that's something you're concerned with. If you look a couple pages back you can see what they looked like underneath the 19in step lip meisters vs the 19in gts wheels, they definitely fill the wheel up nicely

Thanks man, have u thought about doing a body color blue on the calipers with silver logos? That's what I had originally planned on doing before finally deciding on the yellow

Yeah right now i'm debating between color matching them to be my body color with white logos or doing a gold/bronze similar to the brembos instead with white logos
Do a bronze color a lil darker than the brembos..

ive always thought about doing them as the phantom style gts wheels (gloss black lips with the gunmetal faces), idk though but always thought that it might look good for some odd reason.. quick photoshop i did back when i first bought the wheels just to see what it might look like


that would look great. But im biased
