Personally, I don't car for black wheels, but they do look nice on some cars, not on white. Just my .02 cents, but to each their own.

yes they look very good but be aware, i had those on order last year for 7 months. each month tire rack would push back the expected arrival date by 1 month. after 7 months of that crap i told them to go to hell and canceled my order. i then bought petrol octane wheels and they arrived in a few days and look great.

I will give you some back ground on my experience with Tire Rack and the Bremmer Kraft BR02 (please see my signature below I actually DID have them). Please pay careful attention to what mrphotoman said. I too waited months for wheels that were ordered, unfortunately I wasn't as smart as mrphotoman (yea that's right I said it ) and actually went through with my purchase.

I won't go into the details on an open Internet forum but will be happy to e-mail you run out reports from various Road Force balancing equipment I paid for of the cheap low quality Chinese wheels and second string Goodyear "slugs" that I was shipped. The installer said the Bremmer Kraft wheels were the worst quality wheels they had ever seen.

The summary version of this story is purchasing the Bremmer Kraft wheels cost me a lot of money to prove to Tire Rack that these wheels were defective and of horrible sub-standard quality (not just one wheel, seven different wheels and three different tires). Truly unfortunate that they still have them on their site. The first set shook so badly in the first mile I drove the car that it was difficult to hold onto the steering wheel.

I had to pay for the Road Force balancing, mounting and testing (all non-refundable), the entire process took five weeks and then an additional 30 days to get my original purchase amount refunded. All of the installations, balancing and swapping of tires and wheels were at my expense.

My advice to you is to RUN from these cheap Chinese pieces of C$@&. If you like that style wheel and color combination do what mrphotoman did and look at the Petrol. It is a good quality product and you won't need to run spacers.

In the end you can do what you want but I know for myself I will never purchase tires or wheels from Tire Rack after the runaround they gave me and what it cost me. I know a lot of folks use them and everything goes fine. That's cool but what you need to remember is when there is a problem with the quality of the products they sell, once it is on your car the onus is on you to prove a problem at your expense. I for one will buy locally and never through the Internet again.

When it goes good the process works, but when it doesn't it becomes painfully expensive and time consuming to correct. Good luck with whatever you decide.

Stay safe...



Respectfully,



Paul (MisterTaz)

Wow, can't follow that up any better.

But on just an aesthetic basis, I think they look pretty good.

I must say that I've had issues with this seller also in the past; however, I would purchase over the Internet again from the place I got my wheels. They've done an excelent job for a bunch of us on here. Nothing but outstanding service and excellent products including TSW, Mandrus, and Petrol. Internet purchases can be risky, so it's a must to go to someone with lots of good reviews.

wow, i had no idea they were chineese crap.

i buy my tires from discounttiredirect.com the service is better, they are a bigger company and they have free shipping.

sometimes they have $50 and $100 off wheels and tires which makes them super cheap. they are almsot always cheaper than tire rack too.
