***** Hello, something very alarming was just brought to my attention. I just discovered that there are FAKE ads using my exact photos and my exact description, purporting to have these very wheels for sale.

I want to make very clear that my wheels are genuine, they are genuinely for sale, and only by me. I have them listed ONLY here on 6Speedonline, and over at Rennlist, at this time.

Please contact me here for further details. Please do not contact anyone else, anywhere else, regarding these wheels. Thank you, and be careful out there.

Thanks again, 6Speed. *****

evoq007 is infamous around these parts
Im not sure if I missed it above, but any idea on the weight of these?

Also I see you have a C2S, the rear wheel is a wide body offset. Any issues with fitment?

Thanks for your interest. I believe the fronts are less than 20 lbs, and the rears are around 22-23 lbs. I know that the same wheels, with the "ultra-light" option is something like 17-18 for the fronts. They're known among track guys as being super light (and super strong) wheels. There are actually many threads discussing these wheels. Weight comes up very often, as Finspeed are known for being, again, strong and light. I know that they feel VERY noticeably lighter than my OEM forged Turbo II wheels, which are already lighter than most cast wheels.

These wheels were bespoke to my car. They we're cut to fit perfectly. The numbers are very close to OEM wide body wheels. (My OEM wide body Turbo IIs are ET 56/51.) As you likely know, many people with NB cars, including myself, run wide body wheels, which fit perfectly without spacers. The rears of my wide body OEM Turbo IIs, for example, with offsets of ET51, fit my car like an ET67 wheel (as most NB rears are), with a 15 mm spacers. (Well, +16, to be exact, but you get the idea.) In other words, they fit perfectly.

Therefore, these bespoke Finspeeds fit perfectly as well, on my NB car. They would also fit wide body cars exactly like OEM wheels would.

In simpler terms:

These wheels, on NB cars = perfect aggressive fitment/stance

These wheels, on WB cars = OEM fitment/stance.

These wheels, on WB cars + spacers = aggressive fitment/stance


Hope that all makes sense. ;-)



Please let me know if you have further interest. Thank you! And thanks, 6Speed.

Okay, one last price drop.


I have over $4,000 in these wheels! They have only 200 miles on them. They are in PERFECT shape, aside from the very light staining on the one front wheel (looks like light water spots).

Now asking only: $2,300 + shipping.

This is almost half off what I paid. Let's move these beautiful wheels out. I need them out of the living room, ASAP!

Cheers!

• Someone asked me whether it would be possible to strip them down and clear coat them. Yes, it would be easy to sand blast them down, brush them out and clear coat them. They would look pretty amazing like that, and that was the only other finish i was considering, when I ordered them. ;-)

• These are a different set, with a darker color and matte finish, but the shape and profile are the same as mine. The rears, especially, are a nice shape, and show very nice concavity!


*** Just to reiterate, and to be extra clear, mine are slightly lighter in color, and semi-glossy. ;-)
