I couldnt quite tell from the pics but im really impressed with how these look when the wheels are spinning. Do they rub at all?

they rubbed on almost every wheel I have, and I have a lot of wheels. This disk brake setup is hot looking but they are fussy. Vibration also loosened them on me and the brake caliper moved position. Tightening the set screw on it moved the caliper sideways and right into the wheel spokes. I had to drill a hole into the knuckle for the set screw to ride into and keep the caliper in position securely.

After these few mods they worked out well.

looks like they spin with the wheel, due to it being part of the hex, and the caliper stays still

You are correct sir thats why I asked if they rub? In your opinion are these worth the trouble KstmRyd?

Yes the rotor (brake disk) spins with the wheel and the caliper is stationary just like a real car. I think they are worth a try, it's a nice item to have, would I put them on all my cars? No, just on a show girl. If they need to much attention I"ll pull them off and keep them on a car that I don't use as much. I'd rather spend my time drifting than fussing with the car on the track.

The other thing I don't like about it, is that you replace your original bearings with the one the kit brings. The replacement bearings are smaller in width (thinner), I put on a lot of hours drifting my cars and I see replacing these bearing in the very near future with full ceramic ones since they are thinner.
