guys - I'm sure there are a lot of threads of new people inquiring about rims, so I apologize if I am opening up a can of worms. I won't bother asking what you guys like because I ultimately know that it's a matter of preference.

I'm not satisfied w/the Champion rims I have on my car and therefore considering alternatives. I came across a couple styles I like by Euro Tech. Does anyone have any negative or positive feedback regarding the quality of their products?

Thx.

 

It seems there might be some balance issues?

We're running a sale on our RS1 Forged wheels right now. They are true 3-piece forged rims, with hidden hardware. Designed and manufactured right here in the USofA.

I can get you a set of our 19 inch Type RSR wheel, in the finish or your choice, with tires mounted and balanced for $4400 if you're interested.

 

SVT - thank you so much for that post...that was very helpful. I'm not going to rule them out if I can find someone who can do this "Hunter Road force balancing" because I really do like the look of them.

Tom - thanks for the offer. With regards to that specific rim, I'm sure it looks great on the car, but I tend to like the 5 spoke look more (but don't care for the OEM stockers). I also want to stay away from looking too tricked out...I prefer to stick w/a chrome finish.

 

You're welcome. Keep in mind that the picture above shows two options for finish. All the wheels come standard with chrome lips and your choice of center color. We can finish them however you'd like. If you change your mind let me know. The offer will stand.

 

good looking wheel though...

 

HRE, Vossen, Dymag... Concave Forged

 

Gorgeous Wheel. Concave is the best look though.

 

As you please, however, with caution. It seems they've screwed a few people over with balancing issues, and subsequent hub damage.

You're right SVT...I've talked myself away from them because after looking at them a bit later, i no longer like the look of them (and factor in product inequality). Wheels boutique has some nice rims...I'm checking them out. I also see some VS KF rims that appeal to me. I guess the important thing about choosing rims is not to pull the trigger right away...give it a few hours or a couple days and come back to it to see if they still have the same appeal.

thx.

 

good to hear. Keep us posted on what you're liking.

 

HRE has some very nice rims, worth taking a look at. Your Champions are some of the most highly sought after rims in the Porsche community. EXCELLENT quality wheels. They're Forged and not cast so they're both lighter and stronger than most similar wheels. Champions are one of the most respected wheels out there so if yours are in good shape, you should have no problem selling them to recoup some of your costs. In my opinion, I suggest you give them some time to see if they grow on you, because you've pretty much got the Rolls Royce of wheels. Great track wheel, great street wheel and beautiful in most people's eyes as well. Good luck on your decision.

 

call jeff orlinsky at wheel dynamix in natick, ma...no one better in new england for wheels and tires

tell him i sent you, known him for 15 years

 

I love my HRE p40's Best rims Ive ever had, and easy to keep clean!!!

 

you guys are awesome...thx for the compliment and tire lead. Maybe they will grow on me, and I have heard they are good rims. I just prefer a more traditional 5 spoke look. I'll give it some time....they say the best decision you make is the decision you don't make.

Thx
