I was planning on a budget of $1500. For that, I can get all four Brembo calipers and rotors with stainless steel brake lines. What BBK is in that price range?

I attached another picture of my wheel up close with the red caliper. Definitely needs to be changed, but I'm debating if I should go silver, dark silver or just black. If I go black, should I go gloss or flat? I need some opinions guys!

yes they will be fine, check out my album, I have a bunch of pictures there. I have the same size wheels and offsets... now your tires can't be thicker than 245/35 front and 275/35 rears, the brand is really up to you, IMHO: falkens 452 or 912s are pretty damn good tires for the price... I will be out of the VOLKS WHEELS OWNERS SOON I'm selling mine

yes it is. (and so the overall offset will be the same as long as the width of the wheel is the same when comparing 2 wheels)

ie: enkei whatever 18x10.5 +22 will 'stick out' as much as a volk whatever 18x10.5 +22 (altho im not sure if enkei makes a +22, just using it for example purposes)
