Ceika, the 20" vossen cv3 inner barrel measures 17.6" in diameter at it's lowest point ( in the middle of the rim barrel)
We're about to remove the studs, slide wheel OVER top the caliper then bring the bottom of the wheel down, hold it, there, and put studs through from the back. We hope this works.

Wow i see. Good luck and finger crossed! I'd wrap the caliper and rotors with the foam sheet not to scratch anything during the process.

Just get rid of the spare tyre, save 15kg and get a flat tyre spray can. Many cars come with those from the factory and don't have spare tyres anymore.

Finally joining the club sneak peak for now. Still need Rotora decal.



PS: my rotors may be backwards, says a friend. Don't worry, I'm looking into tomorrow haha.

Haha thanks. One of the brake line bolt holes on the caliper was stripped out so we had to drill out the hole and rethread it and custom make a brake line bolt tho. Went from simple install to "wtf do we do now..."

Sick. The white was a great choice. What color do you plan to get the decals?

Thanks guys. White seemed like the only option to make them stand out and not completely be random/clash with my car (Bronze wouldnt pop as much, and i may not have my wheels much longer). Thinking of black Rotora decal, but I do like how they look as is too

My mechanic/friend who installed them was giving me hell about keeping them clean, I hope they last a while white, otherwise it's back to the drawing board and a color change.

White actually isnt that bad to take care of... Yes.. they get more visibly dirtier, but if you baby your ride and wash her every week or 2.. its pretty easy to keep them looking fresh.

Me on the other hand.. my white Brembo's are no longer white... i havent washed my car in months... LOL.
