Yeah they photoshopped the brake caliper outside the wheel...maybe Wilwood wanted their share of the front cover and the wheel was blocking their logo, so that was what they came up with so the sponsor stays happy lol!

I know dude. Trying to make humor of the fact that the spoke is underneath the caliper.

I guess I just fail at jokes.

No this is the new caliper system. It's called "break calipers". What had happened was, the break calipers are positioned on the wheel spokes instead of the brake rotors, so that when you hit the brake pedal, instead of the brakes braking the brakes or the brakes breaking the brakes, the brakes break the wheel and since the wheel breaks off the brake mounting hub, the lack of a wheel grinds the brakes into the ground which breaks the asphalt causing the entire car to brake to a broken hault.

I like smelly cheese.
