Another alternative, as if you need others, is to buy authentic Speedline Alesios, which do not look exactly like those "Speedline for Porsche" but can be found in the same sizes and look very similar and will be much cheaper. I think they look very good and if given the same choice again, might not have insisted on the genuine article.

The Yellow and White cars wear Speedline Alesios.

Any one know the weight difference between the different alternatives? I have AP Car design on mine (colorcoded) but they are quite heavy.

I have some RH wheels "RH P-Rad" on stock and I weighted them now.
8" has 10,1 kg
9.5" has 11,1 kg
11,5" has 12,1 kg

Maybe someone is interested in - I have many new original RH inner and outer rim halves from 1,25" to 4,75" and 5,25" to 9,25"
Interesting, you've made me rather relieved to say the least about staying away from the Keskins and curious post photos pls...?

Definetely "Speedline rims" are the greatest in a 964.

The only mag version of wheels from the factory for the 964 were the SM manufactured cup I's used on the 964 3.6RS. Speedline made two 3 piece versions of the 993 wheel in mag one with closed holes for the Cup cars and another for the GT2. You can always tell if they are mag by the solid backs. They added additional material for strength so they aren't a true 1/3rd lighter.

If it's have to be split rim version with decent money, I think there is only two different option. HR and Kerscher. I found somewhere that Kerscher might be lighter than HR. I don't know about that but I'm using Kerscher:

Hey Mikke, What company is HR? ... I know of Kerscher & Alurad (which are the RH36 type speedline look-alikes),... but want to read up on HR.

Thanks,
