I tried to get their campagnolo style wheel for mine last year but they weren't able to make them in a 964 offset, they were all for the earlier cars. Things might have changed now though. Thought their wheels were very reasonably priced and looked great, keep us in the loop as to how you get on.

Is this the style you are looking for?

they aren't group 4, they aren't rotiform.. they are a prototype set in 17" that we will be offering for purchase at Rstrada Limited. I'll update with more details once we are production ready

Yep. They are the wheels but the sub thread ended in a bit of a dead end. Does anybody know what the status of this project is?

Fantastic. Thank you. I'm not too familiar with the posters on the form as yet, could you perhaps point me in his direction?

I almost bought a set, the only thing that held me back was the poor tire choice for my application (WB on NB trailing arms). Great wheel design, great folks, and fantastic communication throughout. PM me your email and I'll send you the information you need.

I inquired with Rstrada on these wheels a couple of months ago. They replied that the set you see is a one-off since they're not a wheel company. Said they're prioritizing other projects and at this time have no plans to commission the wheels to be released.

Shame about that - it's a fine looking wheel.

The group 4 wheel I enquired about was nearly the same as these, shame they couldn't do them as they look the nuts!

Thanks LPMM & JKav. i believe we did have few conversations about the wheel. We would be more than happy to discuss all the possibilities if anyone is interested in them. However, there are the obvious reasons why we are not fully committed with producing them in large quantity due to varies limitations.

More in depth than what JKav mentioned. not only we aren't a wheel company, Our main concern is if we do make them, the product will need to meet our standard. I'm extremely **** about the parts that go on my own cars so I can't come short in that. The last thing we want is to be another ''street wheel company'' that just come out of nowhere. We already have plenty in this industry.

We have received a few inquiries. while seems popular, but the interest is not up to a point that we can go full force investing the mold to make large quantity cast wheel. also in LPMM's case, not everyone is running the same suspension set up, height, tire combos etc., therefore there's no perfect offsets because people always have different preferences. On the other hand, even we make them in multi-pieces construction with forged center but the weight is not optimize to our liking also the cost goes much higher.

We aren't giving up the idea yet. it's just gonna take more time finding the right material and partner we trust to produce the best product we can stand behind. Until then, they will remain prototype on our cars.

I dont know what level of demand ou would need to make production of the wheel commercially viable but I'm sure that there would be a lot of interest should you wish to take things further. The group 4 wheel really does suit the 964

I was also trying to hold out until these Pag wheels were available. I couldn't wait anymore and went with another instant classic: BBS E88. Now those are beautiful wheels and lightweight.
