Opinions on these wheels
Anyone had an experience either of these wheels or Ebay sellers?
I will probably end up splurging & getting a set of set of Fiske profile 5's but for the price I like both of these. The Rugers have a nice lip in the back but I've never heard of them. A set of 18 inch Rugers would be under $2,000 shipped.
Thanks for opinions

I think I would check the weight and construction first. Neither ad mentions if it's a 'forged' wheel which tells me they are not light by any means in those sizes. Nothing ruins a car more than heavy wheels. Personally I would stick to a better known company familiar to more Porsche owners like Fiske, BBS, CCW, just to name a few.

I agree about quality wheels but haven't found any OEM I really like. I have traded emails with a couple people who have both sets mentioned above and like them. Weight is 24 to 29 pounds for 19 inch, so not too heavy. I am still looking for fikse profile or fm 5's but for the price these are tempting.
