My favorite choice for racing, street driving, anything.... VOLK RACING!!! Best available! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" />
Also people, BTW Magnesium is flammable, so I have a stack of my old magnesium racing wheels that I use for campfire fuel when I go camping. You should see the multi colored flame that BBS wheels put out! MOMO magnesium burns a different color, so must be a different mix of metal.

Was due to pick up my tt from the workshop tonight but I have just been informed that during cleaning another set of cracks have been discovered in the "newest" rear wheel
I think that is my lot for Porsche 993 GT2 speedlines, I am constantly worried about one letting go whilst cornering on the road, they are obviously just not up to road use as they get older.
I am going to put the stock hollow spokes back on (with spacers) and ponder what will look good with my GT2 arches with a weight improvement on the hollow spokes

I'll be going with Volk GT-C wheels. The price I can get them for is simply unbeatable in the land of high quality rims.
The only problem is that custom ordered wheels can take upwards of 6 months to arrive from the factory .

I cannot find any references to the weight of the Volk Gt-c wheels - do you have any info ?
Thanks
