Anyway, here's what I found. German company too

If anyone finds a better price for these than on my link, please share. Thanks
I'm ordering some to have "on hand" when the need arises. Don't want to be caught in a bind should I need a quick tire fix, etc.

On a per-piece basis these are way cheeper:

These are 7g pieces (1/4oz) rather than 5g pieces.
But the Hofmans' have German on the box

Not a piggy bank breaker.
991 tires = $2K a set
Aftermarket 991 wheel set $6-10K
A little bling for weights? Chump change. You'll spend more on gas to the dealer for a tire change.

Ordered a box of Anthracite from CARiD. Shipping was $9.82 for the big box. Looks like 300 pcs @ 5 grams each.
Will keep everyone posted upon delivery with good pics and details.

I want to thank this thread -
After being a little skeptical about these weights, I did some research and I am proud to say that PTS now uses only black Hofmann Power Weights on all the wheels and tires we balance at the track and for all our wheel and tire packages we ship nationwide. We will also be retailing the black weights on our website at philstireservice.com
I'm reminded it is important to be a good listener........Thanks guys

.Small details like this go a long way.
Mine will be here soon, and I'll be taking some detailed pics to share here.
Phil, you should be more active here. There are tire/wheel questions here pretty often.

These weighs make you look & perform better at the track or cars & coffee
It's all in the details guys. Just like our lovely 991's. A finely designed and tuned machine.
Nice wheel weights? Why not? With the right open design wheels, they're very visible.
