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



I will add pictures and better pictures when I can.
Wanted to save for the real thing, but ran into and incident where I needed to get wheels early.
Too broke to afford them but was able to find these, among a few other look-a-likes.

Running Bremmer Kraft BR10 - Matte Grey (only finish)
Front - 18x8 Offset 45 , Nexen N1000 225/40R18
Rear - 18x9 Offset 42, Nexen N1000 255/35/R18
(wish they had 8.5&9.5)

No drop, stock suspension. Will get coils soon and will drop 1"-1.5".
Rear looks flush, front needs a few mm.

One of the pics has a brz with the real thing, and a crappy comparison shot. Sorry was in a hurry. Will try to take more. But if I didn't know which was which, they look pretty damn identical at first and 2nd glance.

Thanks again to Andrew at JRP! @Stav

Does that WRB have gramlights on?
How much does he drop? Are you gonna add spacer ? When you drop, your front wheels are gonna suck in unlike gramlights.

Also, do you have any issues installing your tpms?

Looks good. The concave 9's would probably work better if they were on all corners, but you'd definitely need a drop to bring the fronts back in.

Yeah the WRB has legit gramlights, not sure how much he dropped. Pretty sure it's somewhere between 1-1.5"

For me when I do drop, I'm gonna go with the flow. I may add spacers depending on how much it sucks.

I don't think the BRZ has tpms, and if it did then I don't have them installed afaik lol.

yeah would've loved to have more concave on the front!

They look identical imo, except the middle patterns which I don't care.

Are you sure that BRZ does not have TPMS? My BRZ is still on its way. From what I read, it does have TPMS. Have you ever looked at your tachometer?

They look great, and approx the same weight as the gram lights. I'm pretty sure these are the ones, thanks again for the pics!

Yeah the middle pattern, aside from the center cap(which I was thinking of changing to rays lol) has a few extra holes but that's about it. Also when i look really hard the my picture(maybe different in real life) I notice the gramlights have a more matte finish/a slightly different shade of grey. Still an amazing replica!
It might have, but maybe when they installed my winters they threw them out or it's still in my stock tires :S.
Disregard my last comment. I tried to look online and I believe the Canadian one does not come with tpms, afaik.

The attached is a printscreen of the safety sections on the Canadian Vs American.

Yeah I heard that they aren't that much heavier than the original!! Which is a even bigger plus! And the tire/wheel guy that was installing them was telling me how these were better from an engineering stand point except for the obvious qualities you'd expect from rays. Forgot the words he used but something about o-ring and it's something centered LOL.

22 lbs for both 18x8 and 18x9

The weight difference is really small, less than 0.5lbs I believe.

Tirerack.com has the detail.

@joe, I'm thinking of getting spacers either 20mm for front and 15mm for rear.
Or 25mm front and 20mm rear, when I drop 1".

Well I ordered a set in 18x9 square with 245/35/18 Continental ExtremeContact DW so I'll post some pics when they arrive and I get a chance to throw them on.
