@NJemira85 are these custom as they look like the Aerie V2 wheels? The same as I have shipping to me, although mine are black.
they are rep bbs wheels, aerie makes these as well but the offsets that nj chose fit the car perfectly with no spoke stickout whatsoever.

Really like the look of those. What are they like on weight?
Only weighed the rear one. 14.1kg.
Heavier than the stock forged wheels (13.5kg). I'm guessing they're cast or flow formed?
Pretty sure forged. Spokes are quite a bit larger than the stock ones.

Look what just turned up, ordered at the beginning of August. I'll unpack them & give them a good look over after I finish work.

I've had time to unpack and inspect them now.
I have to say I'm very happy, they seem to be very good quality and I can't find any issues with them on first inspection, the gloss black finish is flawless. They also feel really light, checking them I can see the advertised weight is bang-on - 10.3kg rears, 9.6kg fronts.
The wheels were really well packaged too by Aerie.
Judging by the extra tape on the boxes it looks like customs opened and resealed them as well.
I'll have my Sport Cup 2s put on these & balanced with new TPMS sensors and these will be my summer wheels/tyres, I'll let you know how this goes too. I'll keep the stock diamond cut wheels for my winter tyres.
The finish is so shiny it's difficult to take a picture, anything on these photos that looks like a scrape or blemish is just a reflection - the finish really is 100%

Standard offset?

Yes.
Trying desperately not to get into the slippery slope of modding the Emira - I spent way too much on my Elise modding that (obviously the new wheels don't count as a mod I tell myself
)
holy cow from august is super long time to wait!
We usually only wait 25 days + shipping for our custom wheels.

Aerie shipped them out within a month but they then sat in the shipping warehouse for six weeks then the ship was delayed by a typhoon.
But I was in no rush for them, I won't be using them until after winter and it looks like they were worth the wait. I had seen them for real on another Emira so knew these were the ones I wanted.
