Mystery wheels

Can anyone tell me what kind of wheels are on this yellow R56? I have searched extensively on this site and others - even checked out the website plastered on the car and to no avail...

Thanks.

im not sure, but i would not be surprised if they took some generic
wheel (like wheelmax type wheel) and spray painted them black.

These are the WORK Emotion wheels,

they are available in bronze or gunmetal, in 17,16 and 15 allx7

I have seen them for sale with prices from $219 to $279

they also have a Work Emotion XD9 in other finishes and colors (yes, satin black is available)

in 17x7.5 for more $$$ around $349

I can't even see any wheels on that car. It looks like the configurator when it's having trouble loading.

It does appear to have a wicked stance, though... with whatever is holding it off the ground.

Thanks for the information. I think they look pretty good on the yellow car and should look cool on my 07 Pure Silver MCS.

So far, I have found them at 2 online retailers:

www.kamispeed.com $323.00 - $399.00

www.procivic.com $309.40 - $334.15

www.inlinefour.com starts @ $305.00

The 17 x 7 Emotion XT7 weighs about 19.0 lbs. while the 18 x 7.5 XT7 (like what's on the yellow car) weigh in about 21.4 lbs. I was hoping that they would be a little lighter - still, I might get them anyway. Now, to choose a finish...

Yah I didn't realize that. Gotta check if the sources I had were for cast or forged.
