I personally stay with well known brands from well known vendors.

CCW, BBS, HRE, OZ, Forgeline....names like that. Even though I had some issues with the Forgelines I got for my car both Dave at Forgeline and Jeff at Pacific Western Performance were great to deal with, great attitude and did everything they said they were going to do. I'd buy from them again and probably will next year.

No affiliation but GMG has been a good choice too

I believe Forged Alloys supply their blanks... If so, there may be implications after GTEE3s experience...


Guys, i put the word out some months back and I'll say it again, save yourselves the grief and look elsewhere for wheels...

Don't think we can put anything in the tech 1 category A correctly fitting, non failing tech1 is only a myth or so it seems...

I'm afraid to ask, what's the deal with the tech 1's? I have used them for a year problem free. I have the 110 centerlocks.

11 RS
07 RS
98 C2S
97 C4S
77 911S
