    Emira Lightweight Alloy Forged Wheels by Aerie Performance

    everyone's story has been a little varied. for example once they finally sent me the box photo with address, it was another month till they were actually picked up to get on a ship to Hong Kong. Then transferred to the large cargo ship to arrive in California and Fedex to get them to my door...

    Emira Lightweight Alloy Forged Wheels by Aerie Performance

    I’m sharing my experience (and that of several other North-American customers) so future buyers know what to expect. Lead Times Are Much Longer Than Advertised The website’s quoted timelines have not matched reality in 2025 for North-America. I ordered in March; it’s now almost August and my...

    Dull / flat paintwork?

    Can't know for sure without being there but some of these cars saw a bit of sanding from the factory that may not have been polished out before delivery. It should be easily corrected (based on your photos only).

    Many of the 'new' features have been listed in owner manuals "if fitted" for quite some time. Here's the Nov 2024 manual pg.110.

    Lemon Law Claim

    Def try a replacement if you can because as others have said, most Emiras have been good (minor niggles aside). good luck! Good to hear about the Toyota case...there's always fishy things happening between Toyota/GR and customers (not all the blame goes to Toyota but they don't help themselves...

    The definitive Hawk Brake Pad guide, with Low dust option

    Perhaps you're already aware but maybe it'll help someone else out, if you change tires in the future and they don't have such a thick rim guard on the sidewalls, really think 3 times before placing the rim 'face down' onto the ground.

    Oil Viscosity for the 2.0L i4 - Track Use

    Second analysis is in and honestly looking just fine. Seems like the cooling is sufficient and the Motul 0w20 held up (more additives than factory), and of course due to the coolers, there's still residual factory oil in the system.

    Apex Wheels Survey for Emira (and Evora) Owners

    An unofficial update. The samples aren't arriving till August - bummer - but Apex should be releasing info and photos on local cars after those samples arrive. It does probably push back the sale date to October/Q4. Not 100% clear on what sizes they'll have for the Samples in addition to the...

    Emira track impressions

    I also noticed a discrepancy between the screen + what my solo was displaying (one of my Solo screens is setup to monitor vitals). I have the i4 Emira. Separately, on the road I have a bluetooth OBD reader which connects to my phone and there's a CarPlay app...it also shows different values from...
