Default Introducing Roderick's RW6 Porsche specific wheel!

Hey guys,

A few months ago we presented to the Porsche online community the Roderick RW-5, a beautiful looking 5 split spoke wheel that was specifically made for Porsches.

There were lots of demand for a mesh design wheel that was Porsche specific as well. Roderick decided to release the RW6 in Porsche specific fitments. They accept Porsche center caps, Porsche lug bolts, Porsche TPMS and are hubcentric for a true bolt-on wheel! These wheels are low pressure cast and combine relatively low weight with an affordable price tag.

The RW6 is also available in 4 finishes:
1. Brush Face/Black
2. Silver Face/Chrome lip
3. Brush Face/Chrome lip
4. Matte Black

The RW6 is available in narrowbody (C2) and widebody (C4, Turbo) fitments in 19x8.5F and 19x11R. It weights in at 23.8 lbs for the front and 27 to 28 lbs for the rear depending on offset.

We are currently offering free shipping anywhere in the US for the first 5 sets of RW6 for Porsches!

For pricing information, please PM us!

Sharp looking wheels. Why no 18"s? Why no price listed?

Can't find the Porsche RW6s on their website, but the BMW-specific RW6s (20") start at $375.

No 18s because there is very little demand and it is a shrinking market.

We have introductory pricing on these wheels, and as such cannot be posted on the forums.

What you're saying is you only want us(996 owners) as customers if we are willing to compromise the performance of our vehicles. You should peddle on the 997 board

Forum rules are you must state a price. 996 use 18" or 17 " wheels. Doubtfull you will find many takers in this forum. Too bad cus it seems like you would compete with the victor wheels if you made 18s.

ped·dle/ˈpedl/
Verb:

Try to sell (something, esp. small goods) by going from house to house or place to place.
Sell (an illegal drug or stolen item).

Am I supposed to take you seriously?

We tried multiple test runs and interests runs for 18" with the Forgestar F14, a wheel that is cheap, lightest of all the current 18" cast offerings and offers concave profiles.

It was also to be developped with Porsche specific engineering; OE center caps, OE lug bolts, hubcentric.

There were barely a dozen interested, which usually translate into 6 sales. Combine the low interest with an ever decreasing market for 18" Porsche wheels and you have the current wheel market for 996s, very few 18s - mostly outdated designs and a lot of 19s.

If you are looking at track wheels, this is obviously not the thread for you. Our 911 cast wheels market is split 50/50 in the 19" wheels between the 996 and 997.

+3 only looking for 18's here as replacement wheel. 19s are too rough riding and were not designed as part of the 996 PSM system.
Those are nice rims, if they were in 18s I would be interested. Right now looking at Victor Equip., and others.

If you want to sell wheels to 996 owners on Rennlist then I would suggest that you take all of us seriously. And I looked back at your Forgestar offerings. They were initially only 19" with one 18" example that came later and wasn't Porsche specific (requiring a hub ring and not accepting Porsche center caps).
