I've got the 8pot 355 disc's and you will probably need to get 18" wheels. I already had a set of 18's so didn't really effect me until I wanted another set for the track - spent a little more than originally planed.

Whats wrong with your current brakes? Do you just want them as they're 8pots?

If you get 8pots with 335 some 17" wheels do fit and some might just need a 2-5mm spacer

picked them up second hand with 355 discs,only 6 weeks on a car at a very good price,was just wondering if it would be worth the cost of 18s to go from 6 pot 335 hi specs to 355 ks 8s mate.

They are great brakes mate, they've worked really well for me on the road and track. Great value for money. I'd recommend them.

Depends on how much money is a ball ache for wheels mate? I've now got two sets and if I could afford more I would become a wheel *****

When you say 'hi specs' is that the brand? haven't heard of them before.

Cool, someone like 'godspeed' might be able to help if one of the calipers needs looking at.

But if you've got the k-sport, whack them on and treat yourself some nice new shinny wheels

I did just see a guy selling some wheels for just a couple of hundred the sale section if you want to save some cash
