Wheel Directory: Bremmer Kraft BR10 18x8.0 +45 / 18x9.0 +42

Just found these wheels on TireRack, had to do a double take. Could buy them & have them painted and still come out cheaper than GramLights.

That's the exact setup I am looking to buy. Are you on stock suspension?

At the moment I am, I have RCE Tarmac Zero on the way but the wheels will arrive first. I'll try mounting them on the stock suspension at first until the coils arrive.

Sweet, the only thing I'm worried about with the setup is the tire rubbing on the strut. I'm lowered on h&r Supersports and hopefully they will clear.

They look pretty damn good, but man the weight. wheel is on average 3-4LBS heavier per wheel.

Heavier than what? Gram Lights are not exactly feather weights.

Stock, 17x7: 20.1lbs
Gram Lights, 18x9.5: 22lbs (best source I could find was 18x8.5 +38 21.75 lbs, 18x9.5 +22 22.5 lbs; source; wrong offset, so I rounded down to 22lbs which I have heard floating around a few times)
BR10, 18x9: 22.6lbs

2.5lbs heavier than stock (and +1" diameter, 2" wider)
0.6lbs heavier than Gram Lights. Then when you throw on tires with a similar stretch on both, you are at minimum 10mm wider on the tire which will add that weight back to the Gram Lights. Also $1300+tax cheaper for a set, coincidentally that's enough for a quality set of RCE Tarmac Zeroes - which is exactly what I did with the extra :P

I laugh when people complain about few pounds added to the car's overall weight. Maybe they should start cutting their own weight instead.

Kitty approved. They look wide...

If anyone is interested, this is the look of 245/35/18 Continental ExtremeContact DW mounted to 9" wheels.

Hahaha YES! People spend 2-300 dollars on light weight batteries to shave 10 pounds or less...could do that by spending less on poor food

but I cannot talk, I weigh 260. Being able to bench every pound that I weigh is nice, but still, I am a big dude (6'4) and could stand to lose a few. Every time I worry about wheel weight, I immediately tell myself to lose weight instead. I know up sprung mass is different and one pound is multiplied by X but still. I could lose 30 pounds and solve the whole issue right there :p

OH and to keep on topic This rims are on my possible buy list. They are nice, would look good painted and are affordable. I wish the Konig Torches came in nice sizes for 5x100 but they do not. Thankfully Bremmer made something decent for us at a very reliable price.

[hanabie]

I was going for konig torch silver until I saw the sizes ==

I'm thinking of getting Bremmer instead too.

really need more pictures on the face. Where did you get your tires from? Tirerack? How much are you going to lower your car? Adding any spacer?

It's the difference of sprung vs unsprung weight. Wheels, brakes and suspension count as unsprung weight which is important to keep down for handling. A few pounds can make a difference when talking unsprung weight.

Those look so wide! I can't wait to see them mounted.
