I'm the purchaser of the set of GT3 wheels photographed in post 28. Jake was easy to work with, and generally delivered on schedule - got a bit delayed by Chinese new year, but overall delivered as promised. My objective was for a set of "utility" wheels styled like the P101s. When the wheels showed up, I was VERY impressed by the finish and quality of the build - very nicely machined and I actually liked the finish better than the HRE101LWs currently on my 992 GT3. However, I did not discuss weight beforehand when ordering these wheels, and wrongly assumed that there wouldn't be a dramatic difference between these one, and either stock or the HREs.
However, the difference is dramatic - rear wheels are 14 LBS heavier (each) than the HREs and fronts are 9 lbs heavier (each) than the HREs - total weight increase of 46 lbs. While the wheels are beautiful, they are just TOO heavy to seriously consider for a GT3. I'm sure on an additional set or different design, the weight difference would be smaller, but just wanted to put the data out there for those of you considering a custom set of wheels - make sure you discuss the weights first, and get some good ballpark estimated before committing - I didn't so this is my fault, not the fault of Jake.

My first question to the OP when he started his previous for sale thread was about wheel weights. After receiving his response It was clear to me that this wasn't going to be a choice for someone who is looking for a cheaper than HRE or similar solution BUT someone who is also mindful about adding extra unsprung weight on their performance car.
This solution, in my humble opinion, is for folks who are looking purely for an affordable aesthetic solution without any concern or care about wheel weight or loss of performance by adding, like in your case, 46 Extra pounds of rotating mass. Yikes!
The difference in wheel weight, even when compared with OEM is disappointingly high, and this is the case with most Chinese replica "forged" wheels.
just my 2 cents
