Cool Center bolt conversion + new brakes

New brakes: 350 mm front and 330 mm rear from Performance Friction.
Hopefully they will last longer for our RUF R Turbo.

Centre bolt...just waiting for the wheels to arrive and we're in motion.
The snow and ice better melt too btw...

That looks fantastic Erik. Post a few pictures when you're done with installing them.

BBS Magnesium. If they ever arrive...

We are thinking about remaking the RUF 18" modular wheel into centre bult as well. That would be cool!

Nice pieces Erik...... i guess you are wise as to do go with the center bolt conversion, especially if you track your car. As for the Performance Friction brakes, let us know how much better you think they are in the long run.
Congrats on the purchase.
