Bonjour Cedric, je viens de rentrer dans le monde des Porsche Cup avec l'achat d'une 996 Cup 2003.
Déja quelques années sur circuit avec une 964. J'espère qu'on se voit une fois sur circuit!

I recently purchased a used set of Forgeline wheels for my 996 Cup. I'm not sure what the weight difference is. If I can I'll weigh one with a tire as well as a BBS today and report back.

Jongbloed has some forged wheels that can be ordered for the 996 cup and they are lbs lighter that the BBS.

That would be great. Please provide also type/spec on the Forgeline wheels.

@chfrank - are the Jongbloed wheels still made in Morgan Hill or are they being made in China?

“Instead of retirement”. Too funny!

Bonjour,

Avec plaisir ! Après une année difficile au niveau santé, je vais avoir l'autorisation des médecins de reprendre (un peu) la piste, en y allant doucement. C'est presque inespéré, et j'espère que nous aurons l'occasion de nous croiser !

Tu vas te régaler avec cette Cup ! Ce sont vraiment des autos exceptionnelles et qui méritent d'être essayées !

Tu nous donneras des nouvelles de tes premiers essais !

A bientôt

Cédric

You can buy a set of 997.1 wheels. The centers have a different design, but the offset is exactly the same.

The fronts have the same wheel halves as the 996. The rear inners and outers need to be changed.

I have plenty of 997.1 sets of wheels that I would sell for $2400 per set. I also have the 1.5" outter that you would need. Just would need to add the 9.5" inners to that.

Forgline is a good alternative also.

Thanks
Ed

Hi Guys
The ONLY wheels made in china are my Flow Formed wheels. ALL my forged wheels are make here in Morgan Hill. There are a couple pics of my Forged 1pc wheels. Call for pricing.
Thanks
