While I have never owned them, all feedback on them has been overwhelmingly positive

I purchased 8 17x10 wheels for the track car a couple of years ago with Kumho ECSTA V700 tires mounted. BTW, Danno was very helpful with advise on figuring out the correct offset needed. After receipt of the wheels, I found that optimal offset was 1/4" different from my estimate. John at CCW sent me new wheel centers that I replaced and, of course, returned the original set. He didn't charge me anything. Just the best service one can ask for.

Kodiaks are at www.kodiakracingwheels.com. Looks like most of their business is for sports racers and formula fords (10 to 13" diameters). But they also list wheels up to 18x13 2 piece for around $550. They have several styles that are really attractive.

Those Kodiaks look pretty interesting. Try to find some people that use them and see if their service is any good.

You might want to try Forgeline. I know alot of guys that swear by them. Excellent service like CCWs. PM lister Rick. He uses them exclusively and has had great luck. I believe Centerline does alot of Porsche work and is very aware of 944 applications.

You can get them in 18x8/10" with Porsche-drilling and late-offset. Check out the titanium ones available for the Japanese market... They weigh 8lbs per wheel!!!

Those volks for porsche fitment are pricey (3000+ if I remember correctly) and my experience with volks on other rides is that they're light as can be but bend way too easily.

I have had two sets of TE37s on RXs and never had a problem with them. Also had a set of gram-lites on another car.

I use Forgelines and really like them. I have the RS 2 piece and have been really pleased with them.
