LOL. When I had my BBK in 18s, it filled the rim REALLY well. I think it is actually more balanced with 18s, filled but just a little space.

On 20s, the rotors gets kind of lost. Maybe someone will make a kit for the GS that has 15" rotors.

same here. my ap racing is "only" 13.5" so i see even more space around in the wheel. that sux huh i am sure 15" will fit the 20s very well, but the price tag will probably give me a heart attack. at least the mesh wheels on my car is pretty busy so it helps. if i have the ssr gt3 in 20s (if they had one) i think it would be too empty for my brakes

Neo's right, it's a newly built one Rom
First inspired by gt4aristo long ago actually, but will give credit to Dee as well for the inspiration!
But Henry you were correct on the FI part- i've got a SC.

I'm thinking Dee may have actually got his from gt4aristo, not exactly sure though- just speculating...

I assume you're asking what size the rotor is? On that setup (I have the same one) its 355MM / 14 inches.
