u are in SF, call up alex at sharkwerks. buy through him and he takes care of customers. service is what matters. i have a lot of wheels, i only buy BBS and CCW now. if they dont make a wheel for that car, i dont want the car. those wheels are THAT good.
Mooty,

Thanks for the advice. I'll look into Sharkwerks and BBS.

Mooty,
What don't you don't like about Champion?

the wheels on the Spyder are Porsche's lightest. No more than a pound of two more than any aftermarket wheel save the carbons that HRE makes

why change? unless it's for track tires

Agreed on Spyder (or in my case Cayman R).

I have been looking at Champion RS98s for my RS (which has stupidly heavy wheels). Mooty's not including them in his top-4 piqued my interest - he knows things!

I can report that MovIt and I have sorted our differences and that they have stepped up to resolve the issues we were having. Not every company is willing to do that, and I give them full and due credit for turning around the situation.

Let me say clearly I have been thrilled with the performance of my Spyder full system. On the street you never come close to accessing the performance potential and they are pure upgrade bling (and bling is a happy thing ). On the track however, it is superb in performance. Based upon my experience with replacement rotors on my GT3RS, they seem to be simply bulletproof and show no wear at all after 15 hard track days.
