my996 is infamous around these parts
I like these a lot too for their looks but what I am comparing them to is something like the volks or OZ's if you want performance as well. The comparison to stock wheels confirms my point since there is no weight savings. But lets not argue the point - these wheels are attractive and priced well - the issue now is do I want to save 30 pounds of wheel weight or not? I haven't decided yet.

Thanks for the PM! Need to get coilovers first, but these are a great price.

my996 do you plan on tracking with these wheels? If so I would go forged, but if these will stick to street duty I wouldn't sweat the weight.

These wheels will not require a spacer!

the offset of 56 is what needs to be run on an 11.. If you run a 10.5 you would need to run a +52

They are pretty light for 19" if you ask me
I have head from other wheel vendors that the cast wheel technology has gotten better, so they are now light and an advantage over forged 3 piece wheels because they have less tendency to leak air.

This is very true! not to mention a set of cast wheels can cost the same as one 3 piece forged wheel spares anyone?

Are they as good as forged? NO.....but how or why would they be when they cost less for the set than one good forged wheel cost? That is an amazing looking wheel even if it were priced at $3k for the set.

I agree forged for a race car is a better wheel. If you are just street driving i believe a cast wheel is more than enough.
