"Specifically designed for a GT3RS.." and you're demo car is a turbo?

Nice wheels though.

Champion builds the best one piece wheels out there and MILLARACING would be happy to help with any champion motorsport wheel orders.

We are one of the few east coast dealers

Great wheel...Hamann (built by OZ Racing) had a magnesium wheel back in 01' that they stopped producing because it became a fire hazard (rims actually catching fire after a tire failed and the rim hit asphalt) purely informational, not trying to deter people from purchasing...

look great but remembe one KEY thing.

If any Magnesium part (wheels, engine, suspension) catches fire....
DO NOT TRY TO PUT IT OUT WITH CARBON DIOXIDE!!!!!!!!

You will cause a very very large, intense flame. A carbon dioxide extinguisher will cause a lot more damage than good.

Mag wheels are brittle and rust very easily. Not sure if the weight savings is worth the trouble for a street car.

Nice looking wheel but to me it looks like another of their wheels the RG5.
They are light but the Dymags are lighter.
Now for $8,000 for these wheels I would still prefer a set of Dymags which are in the same price range.
Logically for DD you just have to watch where you drive. The Dymags on my GT3 are used as a DD.
Dymag will custom build a set of wheels for any vehicle.

I have to agree, for 8k I'd go with dymags.


But these are beautiful though. Wish they had 18's for a 996 TT.
