Nobody is claiming them to be ultra light wheels, they're comparable to any other 3 piece forged wheel, HRE, iforged, etc...If you want something lightweight for racing, go with Dymag or Champion magnesium 1 piece forged wheels.

Thanks Juan...

Any pics of the rear of that TT?

I saw some smoked tails, wondered what that looked like on a white 997TT.

The brushed titanium finish looks awesome, but not sure it works as well as it could with white. On a black car I think it would look sick. The CLS and M6 look great too.

Interesting wheels - does not flatter the white Turbo - perhaps would look more appealing on a darker color?

because they really aren't "carbon fiber" wheels. They are normal forged wheels with carbon fiber look-a-like "stickers" over them.

These are my wheels, heavier than the Mag-CF DYmag, but each 19" wheel weighs 19lbs. (HRE Comp)

No actually it is real carbon fiber which is applied via a precision reverse mold, not a sticker.

True, the 20" wheels are heavy, they also change the gearing.

Like the wheel, don't like the color.

Nice fleet.
