I'm a wreck. I just jacked up brembo Gt's by putting wheels that dont clear over them. Anyone know what color the brembo red is? or something close?

Brembo red color?

What wheel and offset did you try?
It is not all the wheels supplier's fault. It is not always easy to figure out spoke shape and BBK clearance. Offsets and brand only gets you an idea. Part of the responsibility is the end consumer doing some trial and error. Sometimes spacers are inevitable. The Brembo GT's have tons of room as BBK's go, I am waiting to hear the offset and width that you tried. Hopefully it was at least a 8.0" and +35mm range, and something with around 5-7 curved spokes.

18x8 19x9.5 gt-c's
fronts are fine, but rears wheel would not turn without spacer. 5mm spacer in rear barely clears, and sometime still rubs.
I know, I should have ordered from RP. :redface: but someone promised 45 days and I let my impatience get the best of me. 7 months and $400 in air frieght later, I have this problem which is one of many with the wheels. I've given up on ever receiving the center caps as well. Wutever ..
So what can I do about the brakes?

Damn D'won me and you are cosmically linked or something. After carfuly polishing mine and hand painting the NSX-GT script for mine, I went to put on the high temp clearcoat, but it was actually a small bottle I was using for the stripper. So 5 hours of detailed work down the drain.
Mine are black though.
You could always customize the fronts of them in a different color scheme.

What face (disc) and offset are the 19x9.5's?
Weird Len, Let me know when you have a run of good luck :smile:
RP- I ordered face 1's but got face 2's. Unsure of the offsett. Do they have a 19x10.5 size and offsett that would clear? Thats what I originally wanted, and I'll order a set of the rears from you if they do, but I was told that nothing would fit. Would deff work with a larger rotor as it hits near the center where the spokes come in at.

Well, the custom turbo timer stealth mod went well.
Now if I can get the center console back together I will be happy.:smile:
Wait until you see the brakes. (Calipers)
