Lightbulb Veloce GT1 very light wheels - anyone tried them?

At 67 lbs/ 30.6 kg for the set of FOUR wheels, the Veloce GT1 should be worth considering. Anyone using them?

The weight is pretty hard to beat, and I think they look very nice as well! If I had the money lying around I would be very tempted



Here's more info:

I have found out a little more about these wheels. They are specifically designed for Porsche, have 130x5 bolt pattern and the correct 71.6mm hub. They seem to be a very advanced design, and extremely light. Maybe I will be the first Rennlister to try them

Did you ever find a set of these wheels? I'd never heard of them, but they look nice, and their weight is very competitive. Everything I've found in my searches for these wheels seems to be U.K. based, and I'm in the U.S., so I'm not sure they ever made it over here, and shipping from the U.K. would probably be prohibitively expensive.

Oops - I just noticed this thread is 14 years old! I just checked with a wheel distributor who informed me these wheels are no longer available. Too bad - the look nice, have the perfect offset for my application, and are lighter than Endkei NT03's.

I have these wheels as does Colin at 9M fitted to his yellow RS. They are indeed very well made and very light but unfortunately not available since over 12 years. Apparently the mounds got damaged and they never made new ones when I last called about 9 years ago (Hard to believe as they are forged)... a real shame as I'd love a spare set.

I think they were manufactured in China or Malaysia by the same company whom make the wheels for Wolfrace in the UK.

I used to work for Wolfrace and got my Veloce GT1's for free back in the day. The last set I saw sold on UK eBay for just over £4K last year... they were quite cheap when new.
