As an aside, interested to know the make/model of the wing installed on this car.

The black lugs looks sick too. Are those Brixton as well?

and be honest. is it a BUMPY ride or what?

loving the notches for the valve stems in the front rims, super nice detail.

Just buzzed all over the Brixton website, they do some great work.

No spacers, everything is manufactured for flush to fender fitment out of the box.

Lugs are not ours, however, we will be introducing titanium lugs in 2017! Get in touch if you are interested

Thanks for all of the positive feedback, really appreciate the love!

I fell for the clickbait too... but ended up not being so mad because the car is just beautiful. I would not have thought I'd like the deep dish old school look on one of these more modern body styles, but this is done very well and it works.

$8K for wheels is more than I'd ever spend though, so alas, I'm just enjoying it from afar. Fitment is perfection though.

Are these rims safety tested, tuv approved, certified for racing etc?
Reason I ask, another vendor selling similar 'best forged wheels ever', turned out to be unsafe at any speed. If they are you should proudly display such.
Thanx, they do look good.

Thank you for asking us!

Pre-production measures:
Our wheel sets are produced to SAE J2530, JWL and VIA Standards of production. Wheel sets going to certain countries in Europe that require TUV testing are TUV tested. This ensures that each set is not only road ready but verified to withstand failure due to fatigue (which commonly occurs after years of use if not designed correctly). Our engineers also conduct FEA (Finite Element Analysis) simulations with the necessary loading parameters calculated per application prior to real world destructive testing. We do this for every set we build.

You concerns all well warranted with many "Pop-up" forged wheel brands making their way to market, with little to no engineering experience to stand behind the product.

Thanks again for the comment

Thank you for your question.

All of our forged wheels are manufactured in California. Wheels sold within North America are individually SAE tested and certified (SAE is the North American version of TUV) and TUV, JWL / VIA compliant.

Any wheels sold to countries that require product TUV or JWL / VIA certifications are individually tested and certified.
