A new right rear wheel bearing on my 2014 911 50th. No more humming noise.

Santa declared that I had been Nice all year and they wheels arrived today ( 5 weeks and 1 day since order)

Initial impressions are ... I am Blown away by the finish and attention to detail.

Yes they are replicas, yes they are Chinese made.. but given how especially intricate the Fuchs replica wheels are (machined front) they did an excellent job

Please note that these are cell phone/hand held pictures and may not fully represent the quality of work.

I have the exact same wheels for 2 years now, got them from Augment in Canada,,I suspect they came from China but finish is top notch and they balanced out perfectly..

I like the way you did the reveal --

Like a wheel striptease

yes these are exact replicas of the forged 50th anniversary wheels. I do t think they are any lighter, my bathroom scale puts them at 32 rear and 29.6 front. These are forged as well and 20x9,20x11.5

Best time for ceramic quoting is when they are new

Amen! Plan to do mine after they're mounted just to make sure the wheel weights stick properly.
