Polished stock Brembo wheels?

Anyone have pics? Curious to see what polished stock Brembos would look like, particularly on Sterling Gray. Google didn't turn anything up, but I could've swore I saw pics of someone that had done this.

There's a couple guys on here with chromed stock Brembo wheels. This topic comes up every once in a while and I never have the pics on my phone. One is black, the other is Ruby Red (and he's in Germany). I have also seen a white 11-12 GT with them. I'll see if I can track them down for you...

I've inquired about this as well! I love the look of the Brembo wheels, but not the biggest fan of the shaded finish (kinda looks like the wheels are always coated in brake dust). I saw pics of them chromed, and it looked pretty bad. I'm thinking polished might be a better look than chromed, but I have yet to see any pictures.

I have a sick desire to have my stockers, which I use for winter wheels, chromed now. I figure with the snow tires and the suspension dialed all the way soft, it's pretty much an old man's cruiser, I might as well make it look like one.

Chrome wheels are the best.

That's because they are. I have to clean mine every time I drive it.

What? So they copied the design and then didn't make it available in the original dimensions?

All their rear wheels say that. Based on the offset and design mimicking the stock wheels, I'd venture that they'd fit the Brembos. Obviously I haven't tried one though.

If only they offered a painted or natural finish, whatever it's called. Something like this:

I suggest checking if the offsets are the same and then just buy 1 to test fit carefully. If you don't like it, you minimize return shipping and restocking fees.

I agree, sometimes a manufacturer/vendor will say no brembos or rear fitment only as a CYA.

Perhaps it's my age but chrome wheels belong on 60s and 70s cars and tend too look to blingy on modern cars for my taste.

I'm totally ok with a polished finish though

Personal preferences aside, the stock Brembo package wheels are HEAVY. Adding chrome is not going to help.
