These are stunning wheels, as is the car. Email sent.

As an aside, interested to know the make/model of the wing installed on this car.

Jeez that's beautiful. By any chance, do you know what the car is lowered on?

Also it looks like the TechArt wing to me for those who are wondering

That fitment is perfect. Can you share details? Offsets, ride-height, spacers or nah?

The black lugs looks sick too. Are those Brixton as well?

and be honest. is it a BUMPY ride or what?

loving the notches for the valve stems in the front rims, super nice detail.

Just buzzed all over the Brixton website, they do some great work.

Don't appreciate the click bait title.

Wheels are ok.

Since I clicked, wheels look a bit busy and the dish look is a bit old, looks better on 993s and older.

This statement:

Option: Weight Reduction Backpad Pocketing

Makes me really dubious about whoever is making these wheels. Wheels should be designed and tested to predetermined technical objectives, what this statement implies is that there is an "option" to have these wheels in non "weight reduction backpad pocketing" , the question is why would anyone choose the heavier wheel and why is it offered and what compromises are implied by having this option (compared to the heavier presumably stronger option) ?
Stinks of marketing BS which for me on a safety item like a wheel is a big turn off - all just IMO having been click baited

Retail for the set is $8328 USD but we are running a Rennlist members promo for 15% off with no tax. Total would be $7075 USD flat.

Apologies for the click bait marketing tactic, didn't mean to offend you, kind Sir.

Having a bad week?

Here's a cupcake to cheer you up!



Also, thank you for your feedback as well! I agree, I think the style would look great on the older 993! This particular customer wanted a more classic wheel on his Porsche which is why he went for this style.

Again, apologies for the confusion with the "option" - most other brands don't actually include backpad pocketing. However, this is something that is standard with all of our wheel sets as displayed below. We will make sure we change the wording to avoid any further confusion. Have a lovely weekend
