I think the wheels look great - pretty similar to some stuff that's already out but if the price beats them then this might be a good alternative.
That poor car is screaming for a drop now tho!

$1399 for a set of 19s isn't bad right? 
And yes, that car absolutely NEEDS a drop.

Is this why you are the tech guru? 
Wheels look a lot like the HRE's

I guess this will be moved to the vendor section soon.

Lol... yes, "screaming for a drop" is a technical term isn't it?

I posted back a few months ago on these wheels.
Forgestar wheels for 997...
I was hoping they would have an answer to run the OEM Porsche center cap, there isn't one. I am very interested in these wheels. However the center cap thing kind of through me off...although they have a new carbon fibre kind of center cap that looks good..just really want the OEM one. The wheels look almost OEM.

Hi Dave,
The new carbon fiber cap is definitely a very nice aftermarket cap.
As for pricing, you'll never know if you don't ask. 
Let's keep it on topic. I don't think posting a price will automatically turn this into an advertisement.
19x8.5 wheels will weigh about 20-22 pounds depending on the application. 18x8.5 wheels weigh in at 17.6!

Sorry shouldn't have posted about the modbargains..sorry. I realized they aren't a sponsor of this forum.. I frequent the M3 boards as well.
I saw the cap it is nice...just wish they still had the Porsche cap. I really like the look of these wheels.
Dave

So these seem like very nice wheels, light in weight and at a remarkable price. 1/3 to 1/4 of other brand-named wheels. What am I missing here?
