Were you able to buy those from a Fuji/TE owner or did you buy them from a dealer?


Looks awesome!! Better than they do on an RCF.

I purchased the calipers and pads from the dealer as well as the larger dust shields for the track edition. Because money is tight right now, i went with the GT-R rotors for the time being. Once i save some $$ I'll buy the carbon ceramic rotors new.

It will probably work, I had two at one point, should have kept the second one, but it went to a good home.

The wheels look awesome. Did the GTR rotors alignment centered on the Calipers? I did the GSF front and rear rotors on my ISF, but like the drilled look better. I am also looking for some Track edition wheels, if you get another set, I am willing to purchase.

I'm not a big fan. I like the more multispoke on these cars. The OEM in black look good. They also look like 6ULs I had on my NA Miata.

Interesting look for sure but I’m a big fan of OEM rims to be used on the exact model they were intended for.
Curious what the reason for this route vs. other aftermarket rims. I suspect it wasn’t for cost saving (could actually be more expensive than most aftermarket rims).

Probably for weight savings and he also has the Track Edition calipers and will be adding the carbon ceramic rotors. Those alone drop 50lbs of unsprung mass.

Default Hub space





Not that it was needed, but there was a space due to the Nissan GT-R rotors having a larger hub diameter. Lexus hub diameter is smaller however the studs fit tightly enough that there is no need to worry about that space. Even though it truly isn’t needed in my opinion it still bothered me that there was a space there and I felt better if that was resolved so that I knew it was 100%. My friend 350phi.com had custom rings fabricated that resolved the inner diameter space and it now fits snuggly and perfectly with no space. Thanks to phi for his help on this.
