They are good, but they don't fit under the stock 16-inch wheels.

Be sure to get their "fitment" template to test first.

Also, since they are ONE-PIECE, VERY HEAVY . . .

They'll be nice with R-compounds . . .

Nice!

BTW: you'll have to bend, cut, or remove your rotor splash shield. . .

If you've changed your front rotors before, it's just a little harder because you have to change out brake-lines and do a proper brake bleed, as well as either CUT/Bend the splash shield.

The proper way would be to remove the splash shield, which may require removing the front hub which if I was going to do, would mean re-packing the bearings (washout out all the old grease), new seals, and a dial-indicator to setup the pre-load.
