    I think you pay F or B or F+25 for both.

    I can't believe this thread is still running. I understand wanting to dress up ugly things on an otherwise perfect vehicle, but to me, stuff like this just embodies one thing above all others...........








    POSER!!!
    The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on me.

    I dunno, this is borderline really. The Brembo covers are surely POSER, but just covers.... I dunno. I wouldn't cover them, but if someone did and they were painted tastefully and had no decals or fake naming on them, I would understand just trying to cover the ugliness. Kinda like wearing a hat to cover your comb-over.

    I didn't buy the Brembos. He let me borrow them so the shop could look at the fitment. After it was determined they would do but the wheels would not, I just gave them back with a big thanks. Not sure if he still has them but I can ask.

    (same, not his though)

    I agree the Brembo-style covers are super ricer/poser, and since I'd like to upgrade the brakes one day, going to Brembo or some other caliper with that design would be the preferred option.

    This is one of the reasons that I like my rims - can't see the calipers at all.

    He still has them, but planning on putting them on his g/f's new car. If he does not, he will let me know. Said he was thinking $350 for all 4. Hell, I'll buy them and keep them in my toolbox till I have some use for them for that, heh.

    350 for brembo calipers that will fit the VX? I'd do that in a heartbeat!
