I’ll take everyone’s real OEM wheels for a small recycling fee.

I find it funny people are complaining about the availability of a $1200 set of new Jongbloed wheels... I paid close to 3K per set (got 2) for my 911 D car and thought that was a great deal at the time! They are an option, legal, correct offsets, strong, and safe. I wouldn't race (or DE for that matter) on those cheap crap Tirerack wheels even if they were free.. Set of disposable Toyo's are $1000!

when you come from the cup car work, where a set of wheels for a 991 cup are $7000/set near $2k a wheel....
and then you come from trans am where the current TA2 wheels are $100 each and are bullet proof, ive never seen one fail, none has ever failed on me.
well, there is a massive range but i dont think price necessarily exactly correlates precisely to weight/quality.
ive seen more cup car wheels have issus, than TA2 wheels.
and at $100 you get a wobble, you junk the wheell. you get a ding in a cup car wheel, you fix it and realize you're maybe now exposing yourself to more issues.
most after market built wheels are going to be a good bit more than that $1200. so that's not a horrific price by any means.
but if they are strong and dont come apart on you and you can have your fun, its probably worth it to not have to drive around on 30 year old oem wheel

Just heard the wheels are still in Florida. WTH, Jongbloed, you said these would be available end of last year.

We got 4 sets in - they are very nice and look great. Catch them in action at COTA this weekend.

These are almost too nice for racing in SPB. How much are they to order today and how long to ship to NE USA?
