Default Anyone Familiar with Tramont Wheels?

I haven't heard of them before, but that may not mean much because I am fairly new to the Porsche World. Anyone familiar?? http://www.tramont.fr/cup_fr.htm

I remember years ago they were discussed as very heavy wheels. They have the RS replica and I remember they were dirt cheap in England.

LOL! I remember they were very cheap when I was looking for my RS wheels. That was in 2002.... 5 years later and with the factory RS wheels unobtainable, maybe they are cashing in? Or maybe they upped their quality...

I had a set on my cab. They are heavy and I had considerable issues with leaking between the wheel halves. The gaskets between the chrome valve stems and the wheel halves also leaked. This may have been an issue of the person assembling them here in the states not doing it correctly. They were pretty durable and looked great, however. Would I buy them again? Probably not.
