I have the tourmelines on my black 01 gs and they're great. With 245/40's the stock spare is the same size I think Chuck posted a chopped pic of a dark car with these that was pretty close to how mine turned out. Plus, sewell gave me a great deal. Definately look there first if you want oem wheels.

Thanks BD! I was curious about the tourmalines and how they were going to look. I really like the look of them and am seriously considering them. However, after seeing the OEM five spokes it might be a tough call.

Thanks to everyone who has posted. Bring the photos if you got 'em!

Until someone tries it or does measurements vs all the BBKs, it is hard to say with 100% confidence. That said, these rims are made for the 3GS430, which has larger brakes. You will have a good chance of fitting "smaller" (i.e. thinner calipers) BBKs like Brembo, StopTech, and the smaller Rotoras.

Good info. Thanks, Neo!
