Did you stop in and have some schnitzel with Otto?

Need to find a template to test my 17x9+45 and 17x8.5+40 wheels.

This is mine. Macan calipers, 345mm mk6 R Zimmermann rotors, 10mm spacer with 17 x 7.5 Konig Runlites.

Looks great! Did you get those powder coated or did they come in that color?

They come like in the attached pic if you buy the Macan version, and bare aluminium if you buy the Q5 version

Don’t you basically have to rebuild them to get them coated? Or did you paint? Just trying to see if you don’t mind sharing how you got yours finished.

The guy from where I got my calipers powdercoated took them apart and rebuilt them when they were done.

Any chance you're in CFL and you know a good place? Few places I've called either don't do calipers or require that you disassemble before bringing in. Rebuilding calipers feels like working on clocks and I always lose or bust a piece. I'm considering this macan build, the A4/Allroad calipers and a couple other things between my mk7 and mk4. Great and inspiring write up in any case. ?

I'm up in Jacksonville and a buddy did them for me. We removed hardware, but just taped over pistons. You'll never see that area ever.

Friend and I are looking to maybe starting a group buy for these two piece rotors. Would anyone else be interested?

Need to confirm if the price is for a pair, but $469.06USD to start seems pretty decent.

New wheels with my RE71R's mounted.

 

[Charlotte.:R]

Ordered the calipers, G2 gloss black paint, and high temp R decals today.

I sent the wife a link to the Zimmerman rotors and said it would be a great present for my birthday next week

Few more things to piece together......I'm optimistic these fit without spacers behind my OZ Leggera wheels.

Let us know if they fit and I'll update the wheel list.
