[V8] RS6 Wheels

[coultl at aim.com]

Thank you for the photos and feedback.  I finally got the car up on the lift today and it turns out that most Mercedes rotors have too much of an offset and end up hitting the upright so I can not use any of the setups that I had in mind.  I do have a few sets of the rotors used with the BIRA system and I think I can dig up a set of 996 calipers.  My question is, do any of you have the BIRA setup?  How much do they charge for the brackets as that is the only component I would need?  Thanks in advance.
