Wheels that will fit over the ECS Stage 3 kit? Did the search
If you could please list the wheels that will fit over the ECS stage 3 kit without spacers that would be gtreat. I know pictures of the wheels were posted here before, I could not find them.
If you could list the mfg, type, offset, anything that might help that would be great.
Thanks in advance.

I can tell you from my expereince...
I-Forged Aero's, 18x8.5 ET 36
Flick Justice, 17x8 ET 35
Flick Justice, 18x8 ET 35
Stock Avus
Kinesis K27, 18x8.5 ET 36
All of these clear the ECS Stage III Big Reds. That said, I sold the Stage III kit and wouldn't buy them again....

for what it's worth, I'm a big fan of the big reds
They have been through....
* 40+ track days of serious abuse
* heavy winter road salt
* sub zero and 100+ degree weather
* a huge variety of pads are available, including at general racing stores at tracks
And they still feel good. Plus, it's the small bit of "bling" factor that the car has and to the generally unaware, it's the only comment about the car I get.
I got them a while ago when StopTech was not racing in any pro series and I just didn't know how things would work out for them. Having said that, now I would seriously consider STs although on occasion, you will hear quality complaints about them here.
For pads, I'm growing to be a fan of the Porterfield R-4 for the track (but I only tried them for 2 track days) and R-4S for the street. They are also priced better than Hawks.

for a number of reasons... no matter what I did, pedal feel sucked- ->
when compared to stock and certainly to Stoptech's and Alcons. I changed pads, fluid, lines, bled and re-bled...nothing ever gave the pedal a firm feel.
Second, when it came time to purchase new rotors I didn't care for being held hostage to ECS for rotor rings. They use a proprietary hat and mounting bracket and at least at that time the only source for rotor rings was ECS. I didn't want drilled and they didn't sell slotted.
Maybe it's different now, but unless there is a compelling reason I strongly suggest Stoptechs. Just my humble opinion..
