Baer maybe ??

They use the same caliper and pretty much the same diameter rear rotor, with a change in the hat and offset.

I saw some upgraded 2 piston calipers on the rear of a black WS6 once with an upgraded brake system. I think it may have been a stoptech brake upgrade. I'll try to find the car/kit, and post it up for you.

My bad. I just found the car ( http://www.movit.de/rahmen/chevrolet.htm ), they were MOVIT brakes, and the rears other than rotors looked stock. Sorry.

They don't make them for the rear. The stockers are fine. I have them on the front. Yes, they are sweet.

Yes they do (I have them on my Z). BTW, even though there may not be a kit out there for a different caliper on the rear, when talking with a few brake companies about upgrading my current Baer system, some of them told me they could upgrade my rears to either a 2 or 4 piston caliper (custom job). So, it CAN be done.

They are NOT an OEM GM wheel. Definatly aftermarket 18's. Here's another pic that shows off the deep dish in the rears.

revolutionbrake.com, used to be Precision Brakes, they offer Wilwood brakes, different kits for the fronts and different kits for the rears...

This is the link to the list that they offer for Camaro's all years...

I think you may have misinterpreted me. I never claimed that you said that they were OEM wheels, I was just throwing that info out there.

Anyways, they are sweet looking wheels. Let us know if you find out which ones.

Well... they do... kinda. They basically take the same 6S caliper and utilize an Eradispeed rotor to complete it. There are tons of guys running the 6S on all four corners as of late... which is a complete waste in my opinion... but some people have more money than intelligence.
