Nope, never heard of them. FWIW I tend to stay with the name brands with lots of Porsche experience.

I had them on this car. I liked the looks, but they are heavy. The price and look are great. There are better wheels out there but, they are alot more $$$$.

I have them too. Picked them up "on special" shipped to my door for $600. The price was too good to pass up. One of the rear rims has clear coat peeling after 4 months of ownership though. Otherwise, an inexpensive, good looking rim.

if you do buy them, be careful which listing you use.
This set is listed for about half of the link you posted... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-Po...d=p3911.c0.m14

fronts weigh 28.8 lbs
rears weigh 29 lbs
don't have any side profile shots... but here is another example.

I noticed the offsets are 52F and 58R, do they stick out too far.

....on a narrow body, they'll be 7mm further out than stock @ ET65. If you're running 265 rubber and are not slammed, you'll be fine.

I use an inch spacer in the rear on my widebody..... making final offset to ET33 (compared to ET40 stock) and have no issues.

no rubbing at all on mine. Tires are HTRZIIIs, rears are 285/30
They fit perfectly, IMO.
