Macca - you have many fetishes mate.

Lez-bot's, loafers and watches to name but a few of the safer ones............

Warwick - what Macca said.

John neglects to mention is started life as LHD which is very DODGY to neglect to mention.

First thing I wound change is the 17's must be hugely over geared and heavy with such big feet on it?

I have not had good dealings with John.........proceed with extreme caution.

Macca

Yes Buba. I am fetish king but I have to keep some of them secret you must understand ;-).

I am fussy about shoes, watches, cars, sunglasses, art, architecture and underpants. There is more but I can't speak here...

pcarplayer

Really?! LHD! i didn't know that - not mentioning it is very suspect. Agreed about the wheels, 15's would be better

peterC2S

Less than $2,500 for a set now - seems v good value for track wheels. Available in black as well...

John McM

It looks like a U.S. Site. Are those GST prices delivered in NZ?

Macca

my only concern has always been keeping the To3 clean. It seems a bit fussy with that extra band around the inside spokes but I hear they are very light and obviously good value. Would look pucker in white on a Intregral?

peterC2S

Its an NZ site (the fortyone site) - .co.nz address and the following comment in their international shipping section "Our international customers receive tax benefits when shopping with us. Because you are located outside of New Zealand, we do not have to collect taxes on the sales of parts and therefore the total cost comes down significantly."

They are GST incl - don't know about delivery.

peterC2S

Looks like they are shipped ex US so freight at NZ$99/wheel by container. So $2,900/set. You can pay more if you want them shipped faster.

May be more effective to import direct?

Looks like a good idea to fully read T's & C's in case any other unforseen stuff like forex price escalation etc.

John McM

If it looks like topping $3,000 I would switch to the OZ wheels. Aesthetically I'm not sure about that circle around the spokes as I'd like to have something that mimics the Spyder rims.

I ran NT03 as my primary Targa wheels for a few years. they are definitely light and good value plus stronger than may of the other cheaper knock offs that are not as light. I think Enkei probably better quality than cheaper OZ. I have had some Oz road wheels that have been poorly finished from a durability point of view. The silver paint/clear top did not last.

just have to pick a style you like John

Now I am running RPF01 and PF01

Macca

I agree OZ are poorly finished. It's like they use a very thin paint coat and an equally thin clear coat. Always intended to get mine painted steel grey met before mounting but never got around to it....

You are right Macca about my 964 needing 20mm wheel spacers on the front (like she has on the back) to go with those cup 2s. It is the offset because other wheels I have look fine. Paul tried to get me to sell my cup 2s to him. If you bought them they would have completed a big circle back to you. (Macca-Dave-Doug-Macca).

Seller's (eventual) regrets?

Macca

Hi Doug. I haven't regretted selling anything yet. I just take a long time to decide in the first instance to sell, which usually flushes the sellers remorse out before the sale takes place lol! However I currently only have a single set of OZ 18" for the 993 (my track wheels) and would like a set of road wheels in the future in case I want to run the 993 on track at short notice (for example next year 30 March RSG HD track day only 5 days after SITT in the GT3). Storing track tyres currently takes up the same space as wheels plus tyres. If you look to sell the Cup2 in the future I'd like to reunite them with the original car as road wheels. Of course by then I may have bought some road wheels but if not I'd be interested. Keep me in mind.

I love the Cup2s Macca so don't think I'll be parting with them any time soon
