These are LPC (low pressure cast), same as most manufactured OEM wheels.

Thank you sir! Got to say that they ever look better in person, here's a photo on a Boxster we also fitted.

Those are definitely all show and no go at almost 27 pounds a wheel....competitively priced OZ's are 6-7 pounds lighter per corner.

They look very nice
What are the widths of these wheels ( front and back )
I was told by many, that 19" are just too big for the 87-on ..? Clearance issues and geometry...
18 are more preferred from what I was told...?
Again very nice looking wheels
Good luck
Regards
Ed

Hi there Ed,

These are 19x8.5 (et. 45) and 19x10.5 (et. 52) for Boxsters & Caymans a 7mm spacer was used in order to fit just right on the rear only.

APPLES & ORANGES

I haven't seen an OZ wheel as such with the nice Hyper Black center and the nice deep lips for the Porsche application. Everyone has their own needs and use for the wheels that they chose. We are offering this wheel option with a deep lip application and so of course the structural properties will be different over a flat face design wheel. I know that OZ does not have a competitive looking wheel as we are offering.

We wish that we could however it may not be a production wheel opportunity yet due to the mold cost, we would have to crank out more numbers to make it feasible.

Here is the status for the Fuchs: 19x8.5 (et-48) 24.7-lbs & 19x10 (et-47) 26.4-lbs OR 19x11 (et-52) 27.1-lbs.

BTW: A set of 18" FACTORY OEM Turbo Twist (standards) found on the nb 993/996 are 18X8 24.75 front and 18X10 30-lbs rear.

This means that if you are swapping from that factory set of 18" Turbo wheels and up-sizing to the set of 19" in the O/T we have you're actually not only going up one 1" in diameter but you are saving 3.5-lbs.. With the OS Design II (what you are referring to as Fuchs) you could be saving around around 7-lbs.

I don't want to interrupt your sales pitch too much but I guarantee that the OEM rims handle potholes or severe impacts much, much better than your boat anchors .

At least you admitted that you sell the look not performance , covers about 95% of Porsche owners .

Maybe we can just agree to disagree at this point, we would give the "BOAT ANCHOR" award to the 18x10 (et. 65) Turbo Twist (factory OEM wheel) that tips the scales at 30-lbs. over our wheels which are you are comparing which is a 19"x10.5" by the way at a 26.25-lbs. it's lighter than this factory 18"x10" wheel by 3.75-lbs.

Once again, thank you for chiming in but we can agree to disagree about wheels and the construction etc. at this point.

Thank you,

Wheel Dynamics Inc.

There really isn't any good reason to give this guy crap. WD doesn't misrepresent themselves, nor screw anyone over. They aren't trying to claim that they are building F1 racing wheels. They simply build what they build at a value price point for those who are in that market. If you aren't interested, just politely move on. sheesh.
