Planning to change from 20" Classic Alloys to 20" Sport Techno Alloys ? Suggestions ?

Im driving a 2014 991 White with red interiors. Really in love with the ride, i just wanted to change the alloys after seeing the sport techno (with the black painted inside)

I basically wanted some suggestions/advice/comments regarding the change of alloys.

Im living in Dubai so i wont be able to see the alloys myself, and thats the main reason i dont want to look at used alloys. And im not buying from the dealer here because they are rip off. Comes close to $2100 each alloy.

Any comment on how reliable are these guys ?

I'd also like to hear about any other reliable online sellers.

Thanks

+1 on the HRE's

If you're going to spend money on a new set, go for something better!

Those P101's are dope, for sure but they are also the most expensive HRE wheel right now. At least one of the most. A set will be over $10K for the wheels alone. Another option I'm looking at is the Flow Form wheels. I guess it's a combo of casting and milling. Great looking wheels though for like $3K a set. I'm going this direction. The IPA finish is sweet. Just a thought.

Size:  462.1 KB Here are the new HRE Flow Forged, wide body fitment, in Satin black. Off sets are perfect for my 4S. I'll have some better pics once my cars out of hibernation. This is right after i finished installing. Car will settle a bit. Worked with Guy and David at Wheel Enhancement. Both great standup guys to work with. Paired them with new Michelin Pilot Super Sports all around.

Never heard of the site you listed.

Try these guys in Los Angeles

http://www.wheelenhancement.com

They carry aftermarket wheels plus every Porsche OEM style too. Many times they have take off sets that are new for decent prices.

I agree with STG. Reach out to Wheel Enhancement, speak with Guy or David. They can help you find something that will work for you.

+1 on the Flow Forms and for Wheel Enhancement. They're stand-up guys, and a pleasure to deal with. I'm running the FF01's in black w/ Michelin Pilot Alpins as my winter set-up.

I just traded my 991S for a GT3. I have a set of HRE p101's satin black with Tpms and Pzeros with 6k miles on the set coming up for sale. I purchased directly from wheel enhancements a bit over a year ago. Pm me if interested. The wheels are terrific and in perfect shape. I am making the swap this weekend and they will be ready to ship.
The GT3 has center locks so sadly I will sell my HRE's
