Yep they are 6 piston front and 4 piston rear, and the rear setup retains the factory parking brake.

Damm Ben, those look very nice, first 22's I have seen that look "right".

I have to say that they do look good. Nice choice, BMWBig6

On a side note though... It must be really hard to find a set of 20's that look good, and have the lightness you need to play around at the track. Some of the HRE's are the only one's I've seen that look really good on our trucks. Sometimes, I guess, you have to sacrifice form for function.

Thank you! You're almost as picky as me, so I consider that a real compliment.

Thanks, I'm glad you like them too!

So very true. The selection of "attractive" (tasteful?) wheels in plus sizes is very very limited for our application. If cost wasn't a factor, I probably would have opted for something different (perhaps HRE as you mentioned). Everything is a trade-off and ultimately I had to reach a compromise that worked for me and my criteria. My wheels aren't the lightest (35 lbs per corner), but with careful tire selection you can keep the overall package weight down (my tires only weigh 1 lbs. more than the stock Goodyear F1's, but there are 22" tires that are 4+ lbs. heavier per corner). Do I notice the additional mass? Sure, but 564 lb-ft of RWTQ answers that problem.

I've been keeping my eye on TCE brake kits though (holiday sale plz?).

Same boat. I got one of the few wheels that appealed to me and installed 4.10's to go with the 600 lb/ft I'm putting down. I hardly notice the extra weight. The big brakes look better; but, you don't need them for daily driving. I can wait a while for those.
