Tramont; France based manufacturer. In fact I believe (but not 100% certain) they are authorized by Porsche to make a replica version. Several threads here on the 993 forum about the process to order these wheels. Shipping had been a problem but they seem to have gotten their act together. RLer "Magdaddy" had an entertaining thread on this subject.
Also available in 17's as per their website. Given one can choose widths and offsets, I would seriously consider the 17' wheel with 8's and 10's, for a more compliant ride. Just need to do your homework on the offsets.
i have a set of tramont RS cup wheels on the way in speedline RS sizes. i ordered them earlier december and i am told theyll be here in january. pricing was very reasonable. i dealt with christine and she was helpful answering all my questions. i can post pics when i get them.
What you'll learn the hard (Read expensive) way...if..
....you do any serious track work, you are going to bend a wheel...it just happens. Then you'll have to either repair or replace it. If it is seriously bent, it can't be repaired, and BTW, lots of people won't do track work on a bent wheel. I have seen factory wheels bent as well, MY 2002 996 wheels, 996 10 spoke wheels, Cup II wheels. Bend one of these and try replacing just one...difficult, and expensive too. If you ben an Allegritta, you can at least replace one, not having to buy a complete set, or some combination thereof.
So what I have reluctantly concluded, to address the probability of bending and then having to replace a wheel, buy 3 piece wheels, bend and inner or an outer , they can be replaced. Until now, reasonably priced 3 piece wheels have been damn expensive, $4,000 a set. As I understand it, the Tremont wheels are priced slightly better. And for those that want to run Speediness, they are heavy, and the centers are cast, not forged.
Whenever I get some "free money", I am going to try out a set of Tremont 3 piece wheels. That how I see it IMHO.

I have a narrow body car on RoW springs and there is no tire rubbing.
If I were you I would just go with Tramont's recommended offsets which are what Alps used -
8.5x18 ET+52 and 10x18 ET+59
I did 10x18 ET+58 in the rear --- honestly I don't think there's much difference at all between ET+58 and ET+59 in the rear.
Speedline RS wheel , best replication
