I'm thinking RH 3.6 3pc.
If correct, does anybody know if they are forged (are 3 pc always forged?), about how much they would run and their weight? This would fit a 97TT.

A friend of mine has a brand new set of these Speedline wheels sitting in boxes, never mounted, no tires. They were purchased for his since departed 1997tt so they should fit no problem. I believe he is asking $3500 for them, he paid about $4700. If you are interested, I can contact him and make sure they are still available. They are located in Cincinnati, OH.

Those look more like RH than Speedlines. If so, they are not forged are relatively heavy IIRC.

probably RH, my research into the speedlines (which are close) shows them to be slightly different.
maybe a matter of personal preference.

If I were to get new wheels I would either choose these again, Kinesis K58Rs or the new Kinesis Supercup II. Speaking of which, there was a group buy on these Supercup IIs a few months back...did anybody get theirs yet? I was very, very tempted to make the change

They Look like my RH 3.6's. Check their web site. I had good luck with their customer service and delivery, etc.

Checked with RH, if thats what they are, which they appear to be, their construction is all cast and as a result heavier and weaker then forged units (8.5"/10" weigh 24#f and 25#b with 9"/11" weighing 24.5#f and 25.5#b)

Now.....do we know of a source for these wheels (turbo 3.6) forged or at least with a forged lip?
