Those brakes look absurd man,
Why would you cut away braking performance for aesthetics? Disks look way to small.l
Rest of the car look sweet, but them things don’t get my vote, bikers been using these for a while and they just get laughed at now, that the novelty has worn off.

Catflap, that style of brake works very well and is not an aesthetic mod. These disks have been around for a while for motorbikes, the shape has a few advantages: keeps the pads clean, increases surface area from which to dissipate heat, resists warping due to the shape. Some of them eat pads, but a proper set should be sorted. I think the Italian company Braking were the 1st to launch them and are known to be the best bike ones, not sure about cars though.

HOPE have been making wavey disk brakes for mountain bikes for a many years - I was wondering when it would catchn on for cars. They have now moved on to cutting your name (or any message) into disk brakes. Does not affect the braking.... unless you have lots of 'o's in your name...
