I’m having some work done on my car and the shop that has my car had a 300C with these brake caliper covers on it. They said that this is the first set and should be available soon. They cover up the caliper with a much cleaner look. They said there will be a few changes and will be offered with powder coat and personal engravings.

I like those, but it looks like you lose about a quarter inch of clearance. I know a lot of wheels are already drastically close to the calipers, depending on the off-set. This could create a problem for some. I still like the clean look!

I saw the car with a set of 20's on it and everything was good. But, I'm not sure how they fit with 18"s I'll find out. The wheels were on the car when I saw them at first, I had them take the wheels off to take a couple of pics.

Neat idea.
Not sure if I like it. Would like to see a pic with the wheel on, because with the wheel off it looks like a plate bolted to a caliper, which is what it is.

Unfortunately the wheels that were on the car covered up a lot of the brake. But, wheels that are open face this will be a nice addition.

I agree, it looks like a plate bolted to a caliper. I'd think something that covered the outside of the caliper as well would be a lot nicer (and a lot harder to manufacturer). I'm curious to see them w/ wheels on as well. I'm picturing anodizing, powdercoating, anodizing... this could get dangerous :-) In principal though, I don't like covers that work to make things seem bigger or better than they are. Those things are pretty huge... kinda scream "If you're dumb enough to believe I have big brakes, then I have big brakes!" to me.

Yea I thought they looked way to big too but they might look ok once the wheels are on.

Thank you, The wheels we have tested so far clear with ease, However you are right, each application has to be checked, and mounting brackets will be dedicated to certain wheels, that is what we are doing now.

The pricing will depend on the operations required, such as polished satin finish, and custom work would be extra, We should have the pricing done by in a couple of weeks.
