They look great.

I feel left out now. I have the ISF Brakes but no new shoes to show them off. Oh well guess I have to get out the wallet.

No wonder nobody else had them!! So buy the nicer wheels! What's more cost effective? Send them back? Will they send a new pair in exchange for the $567?

Jay> You shouldn't need to go forged, just a 20" wheel with a better/normal inner design.

You only need 17.8" of clearance inside. (451mm including clearance for calipers). Which is not that much at all for a 20" wheel. It's very strange that your 20" wheels don't even have that clearance in them.

Most of our customer have cast wheels and 20" wheels with the 8pot 405 has never ever been a problem in the worst case you need spacers which you already have... So don't waste your money on forged. Just use the templates we sent to check.

Also you can check if you find cheaper shipping back and forth for 34kg one way and 30kg back but i don't think it's possible to find cheaper. We will swap the brackets and hats for free but it's a bummer for you.... I hope you can swap your wheels instead of wasting money on shipping.

O yea, Ceika has been great to deal with it.
After speaking with Vossen, I think what I'll do is install the rotors, then the CV3, then the caliper. Pretty confident we can do it that way.
