Veloce wheels
I am looking for a set of 3.6 wheels for my project car and I found out that Veloce makes some replica. So I am looking for anyone who has first hand experience with them.

They are much lighter than Keskin KT2 which is another one piece Speedline replica.

For some reason Veloce is not so common. As usual, fake nuts on rim are plastic but look real enough from distance. In general quality seems ok but I haven't had chance to put them in use yet. Plastic center cups they sell have cheap feel but also look ok from distance. 8x18 ET52 front wheels work better in 928 than 8.5" ET52 Keskin so thats good enough reason alone to get them.

I came close to buying a set but the rear wheels look completely wrong if you compare them to 3.6 Speedlines or other replicas. Instead of the deep dish rear wheels they have the same face depth on both front and rear wheels which looks very bad IMO. The front wheels look pretty nice though.

The Speedlines are pretty heavy, and the replica's are even heavier iirc. They do look great however. I'd go with a lighter set of wheels. I fitted OEM 993 Hollowspokes to my car for this reason. They were my 4th choice of wheel, but lighter then the other 3 wheels i was considering in the same sizes(oem 964/968 turbo s Speedlines, bbs lm's, & Ruf Classics's).

The 3.6 wheels will be for Sunday drives, I have a couple other sets for more rigorous driving if needed for that car. I basically looking at those as a show piece.
