Thumbs up Marion MR-3 wheels - OEM Turbo look

All,

If you guys haven't seen these yet, it may be a viable option for replacing your OEM wheels with something that looks very similar, but custom. 19/20/22" are available, but not sure on fitment.

I think Wheel Experts sells these. I'm not affiliated at all with either company, but thought you might like taking a look!

I'd be interested to see pics on a car, those look like they have some serious potential

I think body color or brushed aluminum, with a nice fat lip in the rear would look outstanding. I'm not a big fan of polished/chrome unless it's the lip only.

I think these have the potential to be an outstanding looking wheel on all P-cars (with the exception of the Cayenne--too small). I've seen a few sets of the 997 Turbo wheels on Cayman's, also, and the look pretty damn good. In 20" with a deep lip would be wicked.

I think they can look pretty good!

Is this a new thing? To make "custom OEM" wheels?
Here's the same thing on a LP640 from SEMA.

nope, aftermarket wheel companies copy or are "inspired by" OEM styling all the time.

the weights are roughly 28 lbs each for a 20" which is pretty typical for a 3pc forged wheel.
