Finding aftermarket ready to go wheels for the 992 sucks. No one has any options unless you custom build them.
HRE flow form has 1 option and its not my preference.
Vossen hybrid forged lead times are long. And thats if they can get blanks right now.
And or anyone else with a 21" rear is mostly X11 wide. When I want 11.5 or even better x12" wide which puts me right back in the custom wheel arena.
I dont want 10K wheels. I want 3K wheels that are flow form/hybrid forged, whatever you want to call it.
Meh.

Check out https://www.bcforged-na.com/. 20" monoblock forged wheel set would cost you around $4k (largest diameter is 20 unfortunately). 20/21" modular forged wheel set would cost you around $5k. I believe everything is made to order (delivered within 6 weeks) if I remember correctly, so unlikely they're sitting on any "ready to go" wheels.
Check out bcforged or signature wheels. They are forged fully custom built rims. They will build them to any size and offset you want. Are they as nice as HRE? No, but I had a set of 20s built last year for my M3 and it cost about $5.7K with tires and TPMS and shipping. They were only about $4K rims only. Great price for forged custom rims. They have performed flawlessly. Fit and finish were perfect. I would take custom Bcforged rims over any flow formed or cast wheels. They also only took 5 weeks to get including shipping from Taiwan to Cali for mounting/balancing then from Cali to AZ.
Thanks guys. I guess I am more so looking for a off the shelf wheel that can be had that or next day. Like a lot of the HRE flow form wheels are. Or how OZ wheels are on tire rack. Or how forgstars where in the BMW world. Where almost every shop had a set that fit your car in stock. I am impatience and 6 weeks is too long for me. I will end up moving on to something else that catches my eye. lol.
I think my frustation is really coming from being a former 911 GTS owner with center locks. Where any new wheels I wanted where automatically 10K plus and 6-8 weeks out. So now that I am back in 5 lug world. I somewhat expected wheel shopping to be so much easier and more fun. It's cheaper in some aspect for sure. But Im still waiting and waiting and waiting to get them.

I had not heard about AL13 rims until recently. How do they compare in quality to HREs, ANRKY, BBS, etc.?
I was looking at these AL13 R60 rims which are similar to ANRKY S3-X4 rims. Are they similar in price and build quality? Or is one better than the other?

How about Vossen flow formed? This is a in a similar style to the AL13 R60. Good quality? Obviously, it's quite a bit less expensive than a 3-piece forged wheel.
