Default new wheels for RS

i was just visiting jong bloed's facility here in SF, CA area.
ryan tells me they have this thing in 18" for RS or GT3's.
19" can be made upon request
$5500/set i was told.
one piece forged.
i had a bunch of JongBloed on my cayman s and GT3's. thought i share this with the GT3 nuts.

Very impressive. And a local manufacturer that supports racers. They've come a long way.

What's your first impression of the quality? Is that the only design?

They look just like Advan RS wheels. Same thing? Same manufacturer?

At that price, I'm assuming they're forged? Very nice either way!

the quality of forging, machining and cosmetic were great.
i didn't have the change to drive it on and off sidewalk to testing for bending but having had other JB wheels, i am sure they are good.

i think this is the only design right now.
i'll see if i can get ryan to say a few things about it.

Hey Guys,
Thanks for the encouraging comments.
Yes, They are all forged alum 6061. We can also do it in forged Mag.
No they are not the same manufacturer of the Advan wheels.

Thanks

Last thing, the stickers will be in a different place. I am annoyed that they put them there because it does not look right.

Good. The stickers look wrong. Even if they were sponsor/contingency wheels, still an odd look.

There is going to be a Jongbloed sticker on them but it will be a different color and in a different place.
18.5 to 19lbs

Yes TUV approved.
