Default What's the name of that wheel company again???

So, to say true to the Turbo 3.6 look I'm hunting down a pair of rear wheels in 18X10. Awhile back, maybe 6 years ago there was talk about how HR's wheels were "soft" and there was a company from overseas that made a replica that was of higher quality and lighter. Do you guys remember the company name???


thanks for looking.

For 3.6 Turbo wheels, I think some have mentioned that the RH wheels are soft and Speedline offers a little better quality.

Not sure if you'll find a better deal or quality than what you can get from Porsche. Have you tried Sunset? You may want to search this topic on the 964 Turbo Forum, as well, since it's probably a hot topic.

Joey, thanks for the info. It was another company, not Speedline. Although, I would love to have a set of the Speedline Allesio's. Apparently hard to find.

Keskin makes a set that looks kind of like the originals.

Yes, it was Kerscher. I just read some more "old" stuff on Kerscher. Think overall conclusion is to stay with Speedline for Porsche, or go RH and just buy new if there's damage (relatively cheep).

Anybody know of a set of Alisseo's for sale??

You might be thinking of Veloce. They do 3.6 one piece replicas, look identical to speedlines. PWS in the UK are agents for them, and will ship to the US, as someone on here (I forget who) bought a set from them and had them shipped. Google PWS, or they are on ebay. I think they are out of stock of silver ones for a few weeks.

Otherwise find a Veloce agent in the US?

Good luck.

Thanks, guys. I"m currently looking at options and of course, bottom line numbers.
