Need to be educated on OEM brakes & wheels
I am asked often if the brakes are Brembo on the Porsche. From what I can find, there is only one part (caliper) that is from Brembo, so unsure of the other 4? parts of the brakes. Is it all Brembo or what?

Also, who makes the OEM wheels for Porsche? I have heard it's NOT BBS. Does anyone know?

Thank you for the education ahead of time.

The calipers are indeed brembo and if you take them off on the back side they will say brembo on them. The rotors are either zimmerman or another OEM brand. The wheels are a tough one because it depends on which ones as there are so many

My OEM carrera classic wheels say BBS on the inside. The calipers say Brembo. The pads say Pagid. I haven't looked at the rotors. Mine is an 05 S.

Brembo, BBS... More importantly high quality OEM parts and that's all that matters, AFAIC.
