this is Mille Miglia Look - the outer-edge on the rim is sharper than OEM. The spokes are are not so smooth like the oem solution.
I´ve three sets of MMs for my car. Silver, Yellow and MaritimeBlue. They are marginally heavier than the OEMs, but not that much they are said to be. I did`t compare the weight directly yet, because i had no 7,5 and 9 OEM yet.
Last week, i sold my last OEM cup1`s and do only use replicas as long as i will use 17` on both 964s.... i like them

Sorry, the link above didn't work for me. What I found on their site was a wheel and tyres set:

which is where I saw the 2000 euro price tag.

Look at this pic from Wheel Enhancement:

I assume those are genuine because the offset and diameter are molded into the rim by the valve stem hole. And also, look at the distance between the center cap and the lug openings.
Now look at the FVD photo. No size and offset, and the spacing from the center cap opening to the wheel lug opening is much smaller.
The FVD rims surely are rebranded versions of MM's. Not that there is anything wrong with that. I have used a set of MM's as my road wheels since I got the car in 2001. They are a well made wheel.

FVD has a warehouse in the US.
If you don't need factory CUPs, FVDs price is great compared to finding MMs and having them refinished. Also, you don't have to worry about abuse suffered by old wheels.
