After learning today that my !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! won’t really work due to wheel availability and the need to stretch my narrow tires... I started looking elsewhere. Tire Rack has these Bremmer Kraft BR11 wheels in an 18” at a price I like. I can bundle with some nice tires and keep it affordable. I really love how these look. Anyone know about these wheels? Anyone use them? Pic on car below!
Tire Rack rules for doing this and having my year and color! I think they look really nice on the car! What do you think and know?

Looks good they kinda remind me of the r wheels

That’s why I really like them.
I was trying (still am) to find some Ixion (the S and V60 R design wheels) but no one really sells them and they cost a fortune.

Like the 5 spokes. Any chance of used clean OEM wheels?

I look all the time and they really dont show up. Ones near my budget are pretty rough around the edges.
I found some Pegasus wheels but im not sure if they are what I want yet

The first forum post about quality was a post about one shattering in a pot hole.

had Bremmer Kraft BR-05s on my legacy, seemed good till i hit a mondo pothole last winter when NJs roads were truly crater-ific. split the front one in half, rear one took a 6” chunk out of the inner lip. Not sure if thats more of a measure of the monstrosity of the pothole or that the wheels are sort of thin metal...but here was the split one

But I take that with a grain of salt because I’ve seen oem wheels get destroyed by them as well...

Not specifically but they appear to be cast, so probably not very durable. At least they don’t weigh too much at 22lbs a peice.

Here’s a page of wheels for a V50, similar enough that it’s probably compatible...no way of ordering, but it’s a good way of seeing what’s out there...the dark Midir are quite nice...

Try using searchtempest.com it searches Craigslist in all neighboring counties and cities. It’s great!

I found the design interested, then I googled Bremmer Kraft Wheels and the first image result was a shattered one.
