Question Wheel Brands & Companies

So I'm fairly new to the P-car world so I kind of want to know what are the good and fairly popular rims and brands that are more catered to the Porsches?

I've only been hearing TechArt, HRE, Vellano, iForge and BBS so far.

What are your opinions on those brands? Good, bad? Rip off? Great value? Reputable? Popular? Tried'n true?

Any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated as I'm looking for some new shoes for my baby

I'm going with Vellano VSA's for my CaymanS - I've had their wheels on my last 3 cars and love the fact that their wheels are forged centers and barrels unlike lots of others. Also all the production is based in Ontario CA. They messed up on a set for my RS4 but made good on their miscue with no hassle.

The list you have are all good wheel brands, it all depends on what you like.

IMO, BBS are great wheels but their style of wheel has been around for kind of long time. TechArt, HREs, iForge, and don't forget Rinspeed has newer style of wheels.

Good luck with you selection.

BBS Die Forged Wheels (Ex. RS-GT, LM ) are pricing but they are Strong, Light and man are they ever so pretty .. my vote is for a BBS wheel...

How about Fikse?

I am a big fan of Fikse. High quality, good tech support and they look great . Many Porsche race cars use them. Check it out.

I like Complete Custom Wheel in Florida. They can make custom offsets for you so you never have to run wheel spacers to make your tire fill out the fender well.
