21" Modulare M11A Satin Black

I wanted to share a few pics of my new 21" Modulare M11As in satin black with chrome lips. One of the newest wheels from Modulare.

Thanks again to Peter @ Wheel Experts for the amazing wheels.

I have purchased many wheels from Peter and his customer service is second to none. If you guys are in the market for wheels, give him a call and tell him Mike from TWC sent you.

They are the Brembo Gran Turismo Big Brake kit.

Mike,
That is one beautiful ride. Besides the wheels, what other exterior mods did you do? That is HOT! I love the kit and hood. Which kit is that?

I think Brembo's standard finishes are black, red, yellow and silver. They can paint them anything you want for a little bit more.

I always thought that the 8 piston Brembo brakes that came with the car were top of the line. Why trade em in for a six piston Mike ? I always thought that you painted your calipers yellow, since the shape and size is almost identical to the AMG brakes.

Whats up Brent! There are a few reasons I picked up this particular kit.
I purchased these brakes because they are the newest technology that Brembo has. Their Monoblock calipers come with an integral stiffening bridge to optimize performance. These calipers are the stiffest cast calipers Brembo has made. Also, this new generation 6 Piston Monoblock caliper works with their largest rotor, the massive 405mm (16 inch) disc. The number of pistons doesn't necessarily make it a better braking system. The size and bore of a piston are what really makes a difference. For example a Rotora 12 pistons wouldn't automatically be better than the Brembo 6 pistons monoblock just because of the sheer number of pistons. These brakes also weigh less than previous Brembo applications.

Some other info straight from Race Technology / Brembo NA
Monoblock aluminum 1 piece design
Integral bridge for maximum stiffness
Differential piston bores for even pad wear
Large pad volume for extended performance and long pad life.
