either the 840 or Competition series 18s would work. I'm in the process of ordering teh Competition series my self....I too have the brembo 8-pot.

I have Fikse Profil 10's in 18" and the 8 piston Brembos. Fit is fine.

if you look in the wheels tires forum I started a ythread a while back there and someone kindly posted pictures on the C series HREs...
Also, Sharky got Kinesis to build him a set of 18s to clear his 8-pod race system...
I never track and so prefer the look of 19s

I would be interested in these too as I track my car and would need 18's. How about a group buy to reduce costs?

This is a possibilty, if we can get some decent volume together. Of course, HRE would have to approve the GB to do it w/o getting in trouble.

Should I look into it, or not?
