Re: (Markland Photo)
Thanks for the comments guys.
No track pictures, maybe some auto-x pics in the future but who knows. He had problems with his stock brakes and decided to go all out and do the calipers while he was replacing everything else. Some might think its overkill but to each there own, its his car and he's happy with his purchase.
As far as being small, they look good in person to me. But I can see where you guys are coming from. I know he couldn't clear a bigger caliper with his current wheels, and I know he couldn't afford a new wheel and brake setup all at once. But there most likely will be new wheels in this cars future

For the last time he can't clear bigger rotors with his wheel/caliper setup. And as far as the wheels go, thats your opinion and your entitled to that.

They made them for HFP Ep3's also, and they are 17x7 with am ET of +45, thats a little closer to what your lookin for.

Of course it is my opinion
And I was sharing it.
And I think you are a little confused by what people are saying
No one is saying that the calipers look small... it is the rotors that need to be bigger.
Im sorry, but you simply cannot tell me that the owner can't fit bigger rotors behind these wheels:

I understand what everyone is saying loud and clear dude.
In order to clear bigger rotors, for example the Power Slot Plus rotors or anything with a larger diameter for that matter, he would need and adapter which would space the caliper out to accommodate for them and in doing so the wheels would NOT clear the calipers. If you look at the pics you can see that he has about a mm or less between the spoke of the wheel and the caliper. So they'd either hit the spoke if the caliper was spaced out for a bigger rotor setup or they'd hit the barrel of the rim. [/period]

He's loving them so far!
He went from having the OEM calipers with worn out pads, warped Brembo rotors, and stock lines and fluid.
So now everything is not only new but upgraded and his braking is much much better.

Well first of all there not mine, there my best friends, I just took the pics and posted the thread for him.
And as for the wheels being so big?!? They're 17's, it's an Accord not an EG
And there OEM spec Powerslot Cryo rotors, he might eventually go with big rotors if and when he gets a new set of wheels when he doesn't have to worry about clearance issues.
