I you want replica go to the source at Forza performance group and don't pay fake exotic premium upcharge. Houston Crosta's brand ryft exhausts are aliexpress exhausts and some happy "enthusiasts" like to pay them triple the price....
why would you buy knock off wheels? Having lived with the constant headache of crap wheels on a Corvette C7 (OEM GM) its not worth the cracks / bends / balance issues you will get with cheap wheels - they are cheap for a reason. on a high performance sports car, IMO its dangerous.
having witnessed the aftermath of wheel failure in the beginning of the esses of Watkins glen, I have to agree. Metal fatigue is a real thing, especially if QC is not up to par. I’ll take the extra lbs and lighter wallet for peace of mind.
So the ones here to talk **** about "knock off" wheels have no other wheel brands to suggest that are worth running on track.
Thanks for the valuable input guys
What did you expect them to do? Praise knock off wheels for a $200,000+ car? Its a little short sighted to want to save a few grand for track wheels with the potential to damage your car massively...... you gotta pay to play man.....
How about, Forgeline? BBS? a lot have used Apex wheels on track and appear to be track test and proven.

Bro, technically APEX knock off other brands
There were a mention of other brands in here that people have vouched for, brands I have never even heard of. My original post asked if those wheels were worth looking at, come to find out they are cheap and not track worthy.
So answer this, 19/19 or 20/20 wheels do you recommend for a .2 RS?

I would consider a knock off to be a company that makes an identical wheel to another manufacture, which appears to be the link in your original post. Apex wheels that I have seen have similar looks, I havent had a deep dive into their catalog so there may be wheels that that are total rip offs. All I was saying about Apex wheels is there are tons of guys at the track with their wheels that I have witnessed personally that have not had any issues with them. One of them I personally know with a 991.2 GT3 that has over 40 track days on a set of Apex and he is running the curbs hard and the fastest guys on track.
I am sure if you pick up the phone and ring Forgeline or BBS, they will have a set of or be able to make set of 20's all the way around for your track use.
If you have PCCB then you will have to figure out what wheels will clear them. I had Steel brakes on my 991.1 RS so it wasnt an issue for me. Although I didn't really care about running track wheels, I ran the OEM wheels and just ate the tire cost.

What tires did you run on your 20/20 setup? I saw another post you ran Dunlops, how were those?
I was going to get the dunlops, but I ran the stock 20/21 wheels and just used the cup2's that were available. Ive read the dunlops are no longer made so if I kept my 991RS I would have bought 20" wheels and run nankang CRS
Now that I have a 2011 GT3, Im going to run the nankang CRS on the 19's.

For track, I ran a set of Forgeline GSR1’s in a 20/20 setup on my 1.2 GT3 (pccbs) with zero issues. Lighter than stock and looked pretty good too.
These wheels will be for sale as I have recently upgraded to an RS. I was considering the ICON mag knockoffs as they look closest to OEM (IMO), and was also wondering if anyone here had experience with them. I love the BBS mag style wheel, but don’t want to worry about them all the time…so a forged aluminum version makes more sense to me.

These are awesome! How much per set? Do you offer 20x10 for the fronts? I have a 2019 RS so will need appropriate fitment for it.
