I think black wheels, with a blue lip or strip would be very nice.

Not my cup of tea, but it looks like Axis makes some wheels that may match pretty well. These are called Axis TC EVO. Not sure what sizes/offsets they are available in.

They do look like Rotoras, don't they? I didn't really inspect the brakes. I was more interested in the wheels. The front brakes don't have the curves of the OEM Brembos or even the after-market ones...

I don't think so. Brembo does not make an 8 piston for the Z.

Funny thing is that kid probably went through a lot of effort to make his car look like that. What a shame, haha!

brembo did in fact produce (2) 8 piston kits for the z. one for their personal car, and one that was sourced to bigbadblacktrack on this forum-hes the one with the jgtc style widebody (not the pink one).

and i believe top secret sells the brembo kit in japan.

I'd love to know where you got this info. I find it hard to believe that Brembo went out of their way to make 2 kits for the Z. Love to see this Brembo owned Z as well.

brembo made two kits for the us market, while they still do supply their 8 piston kits to japan. top secret is the company that still sells these kits, but i dowbt anyone buys them since they are almost the cost of a 4 wheel kit from endless.

i remember seeing the image of the brembo z way back maybe in august/sept of 2002; ssr gt3's i believe. it was a redline with brembo graphics starting at the a-pillar and come downward to the rear of the car, or was is rear going forward...whatever.

heres a pic of top secrets car:

So basically they never went into production with them. Top Secret normally sources their own stuff and does their own research which doesn't mean that there are tested Brembo kits for the Z out there.
