I have been trying to find wheels for my 997s. I found these on the web. They are a cast one piece wheels that looks like a three piece wheel. Cost is $1100 for all 4. Which is cheap I think. Just not sure if they are junk or not. They probably weight alot also. They remind me of the SSR GT3 2 piece wheels.

Just wanted some thoughts from you guys? The pictures are from the shop in maimi that is selling them.

 

Personally .. I would not put 1100$ wheels on my porsche; with that price the quality takes a backseat to cost cutting.

 

I agree - you can find much better quality wheels for about $2K/set and still not break the bank. When you consider how important wheels/tires are to the car's dynamics, looks, etc., it's critical to not skimp on quality. Good luck!

 

They don't look of poor quality to me. They should be nice in a 19 or 20"

 

Look like a rip off of some SSRs... do not cut corners here. With wheels you really get what you pay for, look at Volk, Iforged, HRE, Kinesis... wheels really can make or break a cars look.

i always say, wheels are a reflection of the owner

 

Not for me.

 

They look way too small.

 

I think they look great. The price is a bit scary, when I think $275 a wheel I don't think the same R&D and production quality goes into these as does a well known, reputable brand.

 

I agree with you. If you like those design, try the SSR GT3 wheels. they are about $2500 for a set and are great quality.

 

these are super inexpensive wheels... especially if you get to sell yours! but buy cause you like them, NOT cause they're inexpensive...

 

I totally agree with all this. Don't put these on your car. If these wheels aren't totally made perfectly as far as density and weight distribution, it could really screw with your car. Plus, they look really small to me. You'll be able to see the quality issue when they are in front of you. I've been down that road before. So this time I spent $7k on a set of Avus' and am so glad I did. Plus, on a one piece, if you hit a curb, you have to buy a whole new wheel instead of having a lip put on. I've already had to do that with my Avus' because I'm a dumbass on a cell phone.

 

Similar to the SSR wheels, but it looks like the spokes have way too much curviture to them. They lose their impact with this change, IMHO. I too would be wary of purchasing them for the same reasons everyone specified. 1) They're knock-offs, 2) They're $1100/set, 3) They have no reputation of quality.

For something similar look at iForged or HRE.

Best of luck!

Here is a good reason not to buy

















There are uglier than ****!

I agree with the cheap price issue. That is what makes me wonder about the quality. I am probably going to go SSR GT3, since that is what they look like. I know they are a knock off of that wheel. I just need some opinions to backup what I already believed. Thanks guys

 

Personally I like one piece wheels so I would'nt opt for a faux 3 piece one. Also, find it hard to believe that someone is casting wheels for this price. I'd be very leary of the quality. Look at the various Champion offerings for light weight, cast wheels that look great. Check their website and the Wheel Enhancement website for lots of pictures. Good luck.
