Aftermarket wheels for the Emira

Have you been brave enough to check if an 18inch wheel will clear the brakes?
We had done 18inch lightweight alloy forged wheels to our motorsport team customers and you need to modify the real parking brake to different places to clean the wheels.

Decided to bite the bullet and ordered my third set of custom wheels from Signature a few weeks ago. They just sent me this photo before they get shipped out. I wanted bronze or gold wheels, but didn't think they would go well with Nimbus, so stayed true to the "classy spec" theme and went with their new Satin Brushed Aluminum finish.

Signature SV504
20x8.5 ET47
20x10.5 ET41

This design is a little heavier duty than the SV104 which I already have on my daily, so probably sacrificing 1-1.5lbs per wheel, but I didn't want two cars with the same wheels. These will likely still save around 22-24lbs, look much more premium, have more aggressive flush offsets, and certainly be stronger than OEM.

Will update with weights and more photos when they arrive.

Can't wait to see them installed!
 
Haven't had a chance to take proper photos yet but someone posted a few photos from Cars and Coffee last weekend. The wheels are super high quality and all I need now is a ~20mm lowering and the fitment will be perfect.
