Apparently 15 inch Pro Stars won't fit over BF front brakes. What do I need, just discs and calipers?thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent seen the riddlers but have been told they are heavy and look like crap... Like chinese ripoff crapI was thinking of changing up to R32 GTR 4 spots...
