Aftermarket wheels for the Emira

A big thanks to Greg ( @GRP ) for getting me these Braid wheels. Here's the spec that I got:

Front: 20x8.5 ET47 (10mm further out than stock) Weight: 22 pound measured
Rear: 20x10 ET42 (12mm further out than stock) Weight: 24.4 pound measured

The wheels are beautiful. I love the way the color pops in the sun. This is the volcanic bronze satin. I am *a little* worried that it may not be dark enough for my Nimbus Grey car, but I guess I'll find out...

So I saw the Kix Wheels on a car for sale here on Forum....
Would like to know quality of these wheels ???
I like these wheels but would do machine finish on wheels and brushed look on disc..

I’m looking for 6 spoke JDM style wheels but I couldn’t find any that would fit our spec.

Does anyone have any idea?

Gram Light 57DR is one of my favorites

Surely that must be a render because I can’t it being drivable being that low?
Definitely a render. Look at the top of the first photo. All the background gets weird and distorted. At first i thought it was just some kind of artistic mural, but look at the sidewalk.

Add to that the rear wheels have more concavity than I think the actual rear space would allow for.

2nd photo. yeah the ground has a very unusual texture and the print on the sidewall doesn't match the focal depth of the photo.

I met the guy who made those wheels. It’s real and on a real car. Only the background was photoshopped

I think it had air ride suspension on it from description..
I have e mailed the Kix Wheels but no reply from them..
May try calling this week to see about these wheels..
But I like the look of them..
 
Awesome wheels, quick question since I'm thinking of that finish as well on the wheel, does it last clean due to the abnormal brake dust this car produce?
That's my car and the answer is no not really haha. I have EBC red brake pads I plan on installing soon that should hopefully help a lot with the dust. My wheels are also ceramic coated so the dust washes off pretty easily at least.
 
@Aerie will make these for you in whatever finish and offset you want.
Kinda sketched out by a company completely willing to copy a unique design by a different group. These wheels exist, I'm not the biggest fan of the screwed on lip cover? Not sure what to call it. But that's just my taste. But if they can be purchased probably best to buy from the source.

Glad to see the owner report in. Definitely some weird Photoshop choices being made if you expect people to not doubt what they see. Cool choices though definitely stands out

Looks like Forza performance has a car sporting what look like the Advan R6s which I think is a pretty great look

I worry when companies don’t reply to my emails.
For a replied to my emails quickly but didn’t even know they were showing picture of 4 different splitters and thought they had 3 for sale. They also had no idea how much clearance each one had a gave different measurements for the same one.
Aerie are slow but the wheels arrive and as you ordered.
