Think Pierre Tien and the fake fpb scandal...

Sorry for the confusion Mark. That was me asking the question not the seller. The wheels have a TUV rating. I just wanted to know if that is a rating that is easily obtained.
Thanks

Here is what I have found out the HARD way...
NoName aftermarket wheels are always easy to buy, and a BITCH to sell unless you are willing to take a big discount. Don't ask me how I know this
I just lost nearly $300 selling a a set of Milla Miglia wheels that I owned for about a month. I paid $750 + 50% ($60) freight on the wheels that included tires, and sold them a month later for $550 plus my time to deliver the wheels. If my time is worth $40 an hour...there is another $240....
From now on I will buy only OEM wheels, or very sought after aftermarket wheels such as Kinesis, Fikse, BBS.....

As far as I know, Porsche hasn't used forged wheels since Fuchs. The newer style (Cup1's and beyond) are cast.
