Wait, tramonts are 800 euros each? That's surprising. BBS E88s are running 1500 now if you can even get them. All the dealers I've talked to are at 6k a set and a year wait.
I may need to switch to tramonts...

Please let me know if it’s not too late to join the group buy list. I know I’m jumping into the thread a bit late. But I’ve recently acquired a 98 2S so would be looking for a wide body offset in silver. Thanks!

How hard are these wheels to maintain with the polished rims and brushed centers? Do you have any sort of clear coat over them? I'm an old school DYI buff and wax guy, and not up to speed with all the latest coating technologies (ceramic etc.) I'm wondering if the raw metal look of your wheels can be protected with some coating. If not, what do you use to clean and maintain them without damaging the non-anodized aluminum?
I'm ready to pull the trigger on a set of Tramonts, but I need to decide if I'm going with the traditional anodized finish or something like yours.

I tried to organize a group buy with Christine early this year and they were only willing to do a 10% discount for a 1000 euro deposit per person in one bank wire, which means that someone would need to collect a significant amount of money. They had a number of people back out of the previous group buy and they were not too happy about that.
Not really worth the effort for a $400 discount.

Well I'm still in if we can get 8 people, but it doesn't sound very hopeful. Any idea how much more it costs to order from FD Motorsports than going direct to Tramont for a single set?

Repeat with the duty fee…held again, no record of the waybill in DHL’s “billing office”
Finally was able to pay the duty…a whopping $118.
I might finally see them tomorrow.
18x8.5 front, 18x10 rear, custom center color, for my 03 Boxster S…all in, bank buying the Euro’s to wire, wire transfer fee, shipping, and duty…$4150
Tramont did offer a “slight” commercial offer…aka price reduction, cause they remembered me as the Guinea pig who started all this. Saved a few hundred on the wheels off of list, and didn’t pay sales tax if bought from a US retailer.
Reliving the last Tramont Cup shipping fiasco…priceless.

Strong Dollar = slim discount… sounds like a complete cluster
