11 or 12 inch rotor?

hey guys... i was wondering... what looks better on a 17 inch rim? 11 or 12 inch rotor?

will 11 do just fine? or is 12 way too big?

thanks

Um, we can't really change the rotor size so I dont konw why you are asking.......... unless you are getting a "big brake" kit. then you have to run what ever size they use.

I take it that this is just for looks rather then performance right??

if it is Go for the big ones. if it isnt, stay stock sized.

i end up getting the 12.2 inch rotors... they weigh the same as the 11 inch... it have a larger alum hat... 11 inch have a smaller alum hat...

and yea... its kinda hard to stop a car with turbo...
