Custom wheels from AWC
 

G`day gents, thought I`d like to share some nice (ugly?) stuff with you.
A while ago I founds out about this company that makes custom design wheels. Since then - I started to draw.
I wanted something to be like Fuchs but modern. Obviously that`s nothing new. Basically all modern Porsche wheels are modern iteration of famous Fuchs.
My task was even harder, I love Magnus`s Outlaws 001. But I didn`t want just copy it. So I came up with something similar yet a bit different. Like very similar.
At some stage I wanted a new set of wheels so hard I couldn't not to order one.
Payed the deposit and contacted Dan from Augment Wheels Company (AWC).
Got promised one time frames, but actually took a bit longer. Well, twice longer tbh but it totally worth it.
The sizes I had were: 10x18 ET -11 and 12x18 ET -23.
The rears kept the same but the fronts became 9.5 with ET -5. So It would sit inside the wheel arch the same but less poke.
Put the fronts on the car cos could source only front tyres I wanted. For the rears I have to wait.

I promise I`ll take proper shots when I`ll get the rear tyres.

Those look sharp!

They are REALLY cool! Well done!!!

Gotta love Dan, he does amazing work ... LOVE this design !!

Cheers

Real nice.

Comparable in weight to other wheels?

Some of the other wheels like the "AWC 917" certainly appeal to me.

Cheers gents
about the weights. I managed to to weigh front ones without tyres for some reason. But I weigh them with tyres.
So, rear AWC NO TYRES (12x18) are 13.4kg (29.5lbs) each
Front 9.5x18 WITH tyres 22.4kg (49.4lbs).Work wheels I had before with street tyres are 21.2kg (46.7 lbs). Just found on Internet that 225/40/18 A052 is 10.3kg (22.7lbs) which makes the rim 12.1kg (26.7lbs)
And unfortunately I can`t find just rims weights anywhere. I`d say they are about the same weight.

Thank you for looking that up, larger wheel sizes than would fit on my car but gives me a gauge.

Very nice !!! I am currently running a 17" set of fifteen52 Outlaw wheels, which I love.

The wait was about 20 weeks in 2018. Now they are NLA. Glad to see someone making a similar wheel. Congratulations.
