GRP Forged wheels look awesome

I've recently received a set of GRP forged wheels, in OEM sizes. These are the Y-10 style in satin titanium. I think they look nicer than OEM.

They are lighter, that's for sure. I was surprised how heavy the factory wheel options are.

Yeah, it's really obvious when you lift them right after lifting the OEM ones.

chances are lighter wheels will not crack the driveway as much..Enjoy your Wheels

They look great. Have you noticed any changes to performance off the line or handling given the unsprung weight saved?

It's really hard to tell on the street. This is a big, heavy car and the wheels went from "very heavy" to "less heavy", but they're still heavy. I can't push too hard because the tires are still slippery due to the manufacturing lubricants. I'll know next time that I track it.

Good move.....congrats!
I'm not a fan of wheels that detract from a beautiful body....especially in slow-turning settings.....say parking lots of slow traffic.
All my wheels are custom and true to that idea, but I understand that wheels are a very personal thing so respect any owners views.
Emira wheels are being powder coated this week.

I would love to get lighter and slightly smaller wheels, but i think that may be an issue for the calipers

19" wheels fit in rear and 18" fit in front with no issue, but the tire selection in 20F/20R is a lot better than 18F/19R or 19F/19R.
