These wheels are for sale in my country. The guys who sells them dont know what brand they are, put they have been mounted on his 997 GT3 and are magnesium. Any ideas? Cargraphic?

 

Can't help, but why are the barrels two different colors?

 

^^ Don`t know.. they were originally silver and then painted black. I´m painting them in another color anyway so that doesnt matter. I would just like to know what brand they are. They do look a little bit like Cargraphic, but not sure. The fact the they are Magnesium should narrow down the makers

 

Those wheels look like our Champion Motorsport RG5 wheel.

We DO NOT make this wheel in magnesium! It is forged aluminum. Beware of that sale.

FYI...a magnesium wheel cannot have an outer lip like those wheels have.

 

it is a little suspect yes. Thanks for the info about the magnesium. He said he got the wheels with the car when he bought it, previous owner had had them on for trackdays.

 

Ahhh I bet he probably just taped the tire off and sprayed the faces then. You painting them red?!

 

I was going to paint them red, but i Im not gonna buy them. Something is strange.. Hedoes not know what brand they are but he says they are magnesium.. etc etc

 

Those wheels are definitely our Champion Motorsport RG5 wheels. They are not magnesium, but they are still some of the strongest and lightest forged aluminum wheels you can buy.

 

I'm glad Champion chimed in, because I'd be very leery of anyone who says a one piece wheel that wide is magnesium. Especially if they say it's forged, too. The person selling these doesn't know what he has, or does and is trying to represent them as something they are not.

 

Thanks Damon. It's not so much the width that's an issue, but the fact that our RG5's have a polished outer lip. That look can't be achieved with Magnesium. A Mg wheel has to be a a full-faced wheel because of the forging process involved.

Our MS61, for example, has a 12 inch wide rear, it IS forged Magnesium, but as you can see, it does not have a lip.

 

These are Champion Magnesium, got them from GMG and had them carefully powder coated. The powder coater was very concerned because magnesium is highly flammable.

 

You've got yourself a VERY rare set of wheels right there! We only made a couple sets...all for 996, in Mg.

 

Fabryce told me he has one set and I have the other.

 

Champion RG5s are great wheels. I would buy them if the price is right and refinish them....damn I am not in Sweden

 

So you are 100% that these wheels are champion RG5s? I am gonna ask him for better pics
