New Forged Tech1-205s on 997 Turbo

Many thanks to the great folks at AWE-Tuning for the nice photos of their stunning 997 Turbo.
The wheels are our ultra-lightweight forged Tech1-205s in Clear Anodized finish. The hard anodized matte finish is highly resistant to corrosion and adds no weight to the wheel. (the anodized finish is also available in black and anthracite)
The fitment is 19x8.5 in front and 19x11.5 in the rear. Weights are 7.5 kg in front and 9.05 in the rear.
That's a 30 lb weight savings for the car and that will REALLY help make this AWE beauty fly.
TUV compliant, 100% TPMS compatible, Fits all brakes. Available in 18, 19 and 20 inch sizes.
PM me for pricing and more information.

Not a huge fan I feel there isn't enough spoke for but to each their own.

I like the concave look on the rear wheel. Adds depth to the wheel instead of the flat face which seems to be popular currently.

You are correct. One of the first questions every Porsche wheel buyer asks is "How much do they weigh".
Well, these are VERY light. If you don't care about the weight, there are lots of choices. If you do, these eliminate 30 lbs of unsprung weight from the car.
You have to feel the difference yourself to understand what a HUGE difference this is.

Thanks,

Mike
