These were originally purchased by the previous (first) owner from Wheel Enhancement and I do believe TAG Motorsports also sold them. They did at least once post on Rennlist having a set for sale a long time ago. You might want to check with these two companies.

Hello all, Love the feedback thus far regarding the FU3C we commissioned with ForgeLine & a massive congratulations is due to our clients that stuck it through with us to get this done for the community. Now that we are officially forum sponsors we will be doing a new thread with even more data and a look behind the scenes at what goes into a project like this.

I would like to extend a special Thankyou to members Uury & Hurricane for thier support during the process!

Our intro thread is here>>> https://rennlist.com/forums/vendor-a...dmv-intro.html

I think this outfit are the manufacturers of those wheels. I considered those wheels years ago when they came out. Problem is, I don't think they make them anymore. I pretty sure, but not 100%. Give them a call or email them.

I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned the Starke Design SC 19 wheels which are on sale (at roughly $200 each) from Tire Rack. While they are only available in 19", that is probably a best size for snow tires. The colors are silver and gunmetal.

I found a better image of the Starke Design SC19 wheels on the 997 forum:



In case you were wondering, Porsche center caps fit these wheels (and look a lot better than the supplied caps which are crappy-looking plastic.) At these prices, you should spring for them or, if you are using them as winter tires, you can easily swap over the caps from your summer tires.

Nice; however, I think it might be better if the outer lip were Black.

The first centers are being cut, apparently. They look pretty sharp!

Once I sell my Kline headers from my 981 Spyder, I will be ready to jump on the bandwagon.
