Default DUB wheels

Anybody know anything about this wheel manufacture? Seems like they have some pretty cool designs in three pc forged wheels and also make wheels with an old school drop lip design.

Can't tell if serious....

They are very heavy and not really en vogue for sports cars. Many of us like customizing so if it makes you happy and you like it then I'd just suggest to keep the original wheels if you ever decide to sell.

Porsche owners are not their target audience.

I think their target may specifically be Escalade and Hummer owners in Miami

Dubs on a 911? I guess anything is possible.

Unless your planning to put 24" to 28" wheels on your 991... are you planning to DONK your 991?

Their 21" wheels will probably be better suited for 992 cars. Maybe try the 992 forum?

Did a bit more research and am concerned more about where these are made and the durability than the looks. They do make stuff under 22" BTW (look at CARiD) that fit the 991, but the fact they are Chinese made turns me off when there are so many good US manufacturers. Cost is about the same as a good set from HRE.

Thanks but even the so called "forged" wheels listed on CARiD did not have the "Made in USA" icon in the specific listing. May bring into question whether all the parts of the wheel are forged and USA made or just the spider or rim barrels.
