Default Experience with Techart Formula wheels?
Hi-

I'm considering getting a set of these wheels for my 993 (probably in the 17" special order size), and when I searched it looked like several 996 guys have the 18 or 19" version.

If you use these wheels, do you like them, have you had any problems?

Any other thoughts?

Thanks.

P.S. I have 18" Sport Design (7.5 and 9) and other wheels for sale, see https://rennlist.com/forums/for-sale-ads-member-to-member-fs-wtb-free/334893-fs-four-sets-of-oem-wheels-16-17-18-magnesium-and-aluminum.html

I looked at them for my Boxster. They look great, but I purchased a different set because the Formula's were just too heavy.

18" Techarts......they may be a little heavy, but if you drive a 996, the pedal on the right takes care of that
