Thanks for the feedback Gents. However Fuch & Cup wheels have already been replicated for 964 fitment.

This thread is about, replicating the above pictured wheels for 964 fitment at a reasonable cost - as these currently don't exist.

Fake bolts are a huge turn off to me on aftermarket wheels.

no fake bolts. There are enough rubbish fake-wheels out there.

I`d love to see the CH Style. There is a one-piece mag-wheel from BBS - one guy here on RL has this wheels on a 964 in his avatar picture... That design would be great too.

Tüv would be a must!

regards from munich

edit:
some cup1`s in 8 & 9.5 width that are some KGs lighter than the OEMs would be great too!

edit2:

TE37 lookalikes with tüv?!

I'm looking hard for a real set of LMs (was tempted by a set recently until SOMEONEssaid they'd be too big).... I would consider a copy as a temporary measure only if they were quality. What's the story Frank, have you found someone to make them for you??

LM s could be good and then why not have them built to a size that will crossover with 993NB like my AP cups to open your market up ?

Thank you for all the feedback gents. I should find out this week if the whole thing is feasible.

I imagine that if this was to work, my plan of action would be to order a sample set for myself so that I can do a quality control and test them on my car.

I would then probably start with producing the LM style wheel as this is the most popular and cap the order amount to 30 sets.

Once the 30 sets are delivered I then would evaluate whether it's worth carrying on and look into expanding the range.

Thanks again for the interest and feedback. I'll keep you all posted.

Frank, go for it,

You might want to check out Group 4 wheels, he started with one wheel and has built up a nice range of wheels

You may want to rethink your quality control and product testing, looking at a wheel visually and running it around on your car for a few miles won't validate anything

Good luck

Thanks mate,

Quality control - I'll check the finishes.
Running the wheels - will allow me check offsets, bore size and generally any fitment issues.

This will allow me to take high resolution images of the finish and the wheels on the car for promo purposes.

I'd much rather use my car as a guinea pig for unlikely issues than ship 30 wheels and only find out then if there are any issues however small.

With lots of kind help I have and will be been doing a lot more R&D on these wheels - theres a lot more going on behind the scenes in developing these babies... Quite simply Porsche wheels have a very high offset and very high PCD which presents all sorts of challenges even before the manufacturing processes begin.
