There was a thread about a month ago talking of Oakley Design and it gave a link. Prob. go back to page 5?

They showed many products but it seems they were from different manufactures and not their own. They seemed to be from England.
For sure some of the products were from other companies, ie. QuickSilver header/exhaust system and Dymag wheels. Here is a link hope it works.

Here is the link to the GT3/ GT3 RS section. Hey GT3Ranger i think your right on but some of there combos and tweaking sound like a good package... nice roll cage and dymag color...there should be review articles soon in GT Porsche (march 08) and evo soon to come.

I have talked with these guys and will be involved with them soon. First, the wheels and exhaust are NOT other companies. The wheels are actually 10 spoke rather than dymag's 9. The produces are VERY well backed as Jon Oakley is acutally a factory driver for Porsche. There is more "porsche" in these parts than one should really know about if you know what I mean...

Every single product that Oakley offers is completely TOP OF THE LINE and the R&D involved in even the simple looking AERO parts is amazing (MIRA wind tunnel testing...same place F1 teams use). For example, their small carbon fiber decklid intakes are 15% more efficient (allowing 15% more air than stock) and dont effect CG at ALL. The exhaust system is quite unique and has a good deal of cup blood running through it. The carbon fiber roll cages/bars are really something else as well...they are just awaiting FIA approval for the bars right now. If FIA approves, FWIW, no more will be able to be sold as PORSCHE may be installing them in their cup cars OEM...this stuff is really, really solid.



The sequential is a great system and is a great mesh between the cup hollinger system and the standard 6 speed. The linkage is the only thing that changes, so one does NOT need any rebuilds of his transmission every X amount of hours. Check out their promo video on youtube as well!

If you look on their website, the wheels are 9 spokes, not 10. They look exactly like dymags. The exhaust looks exactly like the Quicksilver.

hmm, your right about the 9 V 10 on the webpage, but as I understood it, when the are available in the US, they will have to be 10 spokes. As for the exhaust, it is still in developement...the headers are being worked on currently...they are however using the quicksilver picture as their current product pic...that said, the suspension is intrax based and sold by oakley, so they may have an agreement with quicksilver. (Im still getting all the specs down, sorry for the here and there comments).

No, but I am close to purchasing a Quicksilver exhaust. I have yet to hear anything negative about either the Quicksilver or Dymags.
