Hey guys i just bought some 5 star 20 inch rims for my '10 Camry SE the 5 star on the rims are really skinny so and i am looking for some brake calipers or covers that look like Brembo or anything brake related that will enhance the look. any info or links would be really helpful. thank you.
1. go to ebay 2. type brembo covers 3. buy the covers of your choice 4. embrace the lame-ness that comes from putting fake caliper covers on top of your real calipers underneath your 5-star rims.
Changing the current callipers or putting on cheap covers (please don't consider that again), will not really help with improving the look in my opinion. If you want a change, paint your callipers red, but that's just a filler.
Because of the size of your wheels, the only way to make your brakes look right is to get the proportions right. To do this though, you will not only need to change your callipers, but you rotors as well. You will need to get yourself a big brake kit. Then your rotors will fill a lot of the empty space and make it look better. Such example would be this:
But once people hear how much such an upgrade costs, they usually turn away from the idea. It's not cheap, but it will solve your issue. Plus you get much better brakes.
Yea, I will be getting new brakes when my rotors can no longer be salvaged. Might as get big calipers and bigger rotors at the same time.

Well I did not want to insult the new guy, but showing him brakes that are worth over 20%-30% of the price of his car haha to funny. Stick brakes like that on cars that need to go from 150+ down to 30 for a few hours.
Your trying to give him a heart attack aren't you?

If your looking for covers, may I suggest painting them black so they disappear? Matching the size to those rims is going to cost you one heck of alot more coin than cheap covers. Trying to hi-lite toyota calipers and rotors will not cut it.
I too was going to go this route till i seen the big brake kits cost around 2g's or a good kit, thats when i decided to go with painting mine red, I too am running on 20's
you can always source supra TT 4pot brakes, can be had for $500 and upwards, you will need to custom fab brackets and 13" brake rotors, it is still cheaper than a universal bbk kit
If you're going to do something, you may as well do it right the first time .
A mate has a set of 14 inch AP Racing rotors and callipers on his street car. Damn that thing can stop. Probably pop your eyes out if your aren't careful, LOL.
Even with the larger brakes on my TRD, I still feel like I could do with more braking power.
But yeah, depends on the person.
Of that I have no doubt but he was looking for like 100 buck covers not 4000 buck front brakes or more lol
