I think these looks great and was all set to buy them (I have called WD a few times tracking when they would be in) fearing i would not find a used set and wasnt sure I was ready to buy new RUF's, but did find a set of real rufs, arriving this week...if not I would have went with these maybe..

 

nice- post up some pics, I have really been contemplating getting this style of wheel.

What did WD quote you for the set?

 

think it was 2500 range with decent tires, I know it was a good price compared to new or even used RUFs....

yes will post pics once its done.... at the shop today getting the ceremic coated dual S tips installed and the bypass valve for PSE like sound... can't wait to pick it up later...

 

sweet- I'd love to see those ceramic coated tips. Were they stock tips that you had custom coated?

 

stock S dual tips, putting on non S car 997...

 

Nice find p0sch3 keep this thread posted and I will definetly bookmark this thread. Hopefully they will be lighter then OEM and they are in the wheel size I would like. Just alittle concerned why they did not keep the same sizes RUF uses in the 19". Now if I could find the RGT rear wing and sides.

 

They posted there offsets on there website now on the C5.

19x8et50mm 19x9.5 et46mm or the 19x11et65mm which sizes fit the 2000 NB.

 

Yeah I stopped by there yesterday.
They have one sample wheel on the wall, and it looks like it is made very well.
It is finished in a gunmetal color, however the production units will be Porsche silver.
And yes they are heavy!

No price- I asked and it was "to be determined" - which means the price will be based on demand, so I'd expect them to be overpriced initially.

 

This pic is from there website is this gunmetal? They show $1500 on there website and due in late April from what they told me. The 11 rears/Offsets will fit also that was one of my concerns on my BLK C2 NB. I would be sadly disappointed if in silver I think the gunmetal adds a touch of class to the wheel. I hope they can be made to order on finish.

 

Yeah I discussed the pic with them, it is actually a pic of the gunmetal sample wheel. look closely at the insets of the wheel and you'll see the true darker color. crappy digital camera flash i guess. but I was told they will come in the standard silver.

I know WD can do any finish you want, they are pretty good about that. gunmetal would look good on some cars / not so good on others. it is quite dark in person.

 

At least your camera has a flash. I'll have to drop another email to them to make sure. To bad they did not go alittle furthor and make them hollow spoked to lighten them up, but I guess I am expecting to much. Are there any other wheel places that get the same rims as they do that you know of or are they the exclusive to them?

 

i looked around the net but no other sources that i have found. I am sure however, once they are released by the manufacturer we'll see them in a few places including ebay.

 

The reply I got back from them on color was "The finish will be Hyper silver. RUF calls it Chrome Optic." Now I am really confused is this the RUF color in the picture which we are calling gun metal? or Porsche color which is just silver.

 

i dunno - we'll have to wait and see. to me, "hyper silver" is more of a grayish-silver.

 

Well waited for over one month for these wheels and all I got was a bunch of bull and excuses from they are sitting at the LA port to maybe they are getting just the fronts in sometime and the rears maybe sometime. Wheel Dynamics is at best to be questioned throughly. What a shame or should I say sham.
