GT3 Style actually Got them on ebay for about $750 shipped, new Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110, $530, I think they look great, the offset is great, designed for the 996 turbo and c4s. Made in Italy, if that even means anything.

I weighted them at 26lb fronts and 30lb rears, about the same as the OEM non-hollow turbo twists

Here's a quick snap, I'll take some good photos this weekend perhaps
(I agree, I need to lower it once I sell my exhaust system, I can use it towards coilovers)

 

Well you cant beat the price.. That is if you dont hit a pothole and they fall apart at speed on you.. Im always leary of knock off wheels myself.. I have seen Rota wheels come apart down to the hub before..

Yea, but hopefully I don't get a pothole

 

Nice, my favorite style.

 

They look really nice as a street wheel. Knockoffs I think are usually fine for the street just put on your old ones when you go to the track. Now, if I were you, I would paint the centers black and leave the lip as is. That would make for some really nice contrast. But they look great as is also, congrats.

 

Looks nice, but needs lowering by at least an inch to look right.

i cant believe someoen who owns a porsche turbo would buy a knock off wheel

do you have any idea what could happen at high speeds ? are those wheels DOT approved ? are they forged ? were they x-ray'd for stress cracks ?


do yourself a favor and give back the porsche and pick up a g35 or something


sorry to sound like a jerk but the absolute last thing you want to go cheap on is a set of wheels/tires


thats the only thing that makes contact with the road



you do realize theres an enormous amount of weight on the back of your car right ? and the stress increases on one wheel while youre under load and cornering

 

I'd like to see a shot from angle. What are the offsets?

There are many whom use generic or knockoff aftermarket wheels on porsches, not just limited to the turbo. Even on this forum there are many members using them.

I understand the risks, that is the reason I'm saving extra bucks to get a set of CCWs in the future

I rarely drive my car, and when I do I don't go past hwy speeds much

 

They Look Great!

That being said... be careful. Seems this this is a form before function choice. I've seen plenty of knockoffs fail on the track and in the real world when they hat a curb or large pothole.

Get the CCWs as soon as you can .

 

They look great but I agree with Steve, I would never put replica wheels on any car, let alone a Porsche

 

Tuff crowd!!!

 

The wheels look great, I love white 996 Turbos.

 

I am +1. It is just not worth it. Plus, if your going buy wheels. Save and buy the best. HRE's, Asanti, Forgiato, or some 3pc. That's just me. Please don't buy a $100 wedding ring if you want it to last a life time. Then get mad when it doesn't work out.
