Front rotor size

[Shieldzee]

The only exterior design gripe that I have is that I wish the front rotors were bigger. This car is going to be heavy right? I really like the way the BMW 340 front rotor really fills in behind the spokes. What do you guys think? Am I being too picky?

Picky
But to be fair, The BMW brakes in this photo do look well matched.
To note the Stinger GT here has the darker color rims and they also might be bigger diameter wheels too (19" vs 18").
Big plus on the Brembo calipers and the slotted rotors though, just saying.

Good points. And the slotted rotors on the Stinger are SEXY!

I see what you're saying and I do agree a bigger rotor would look nicer. But bottom line I think the Stinger setup looks really good.

I did a little research. The BMW 340i GT front rotor diameter is 13.4". The Kia Stinger GT front rotor diameter is 13.8" Point Kia!!

I did a little research. The BMW 340i GT front rotor diameter is 13.4". The Kia Stinger GT front rotor diameter is 13.8" Point Kia!!

That 340i appears to have the M Sport brakes (which is part of the Track Handling Package). So the front rotor would be 370mm (14.6") instead of the standard 340mm (13.4").

But.....the Stinger has 4-piston calipers in the front and 2-piston calipers in the back. Along with slotted rotors. The M Sport brakes are 2-piston front and single piston rear. So point, point, point Kia, hahaha.

I agree 100% . That small rotor/wheel combination looks woeful .
The GT should have GT brakes ( i.e. bigger than std model ) even my 15 yr old Commodore ute has 345 mm discs.

So the Beemer disks would be .8 inches greater diameter or .4 inches greater radius. Not that much larger.

Possibly. Given that the BMW disks are only 6% larger, I think it's also the fact that the photo of the BMW is blown up larger than the Stinger. I don't think that a grill to grill comparison of the two would leave a Stinger owner with a bad case of disk envy.
