I'd likely be interested in a set of 4 17x9's if they are as light as you suggest.

I like to know the answer to the 944 fitment question too. With the BBS RE's I had, the 944 needed a special wheel. Is that the same case here?

The only issue our guys say may be on them is with the dust cover on the rear hub. It may bottom out on the bore of the wheel when installed. It may be necessary to smack it in with a hammer to bring it in some. We need to get them in and see....

Damon,
Would you have any pictures of a Porsche specific wheel? I am curious to see the 5 lugs with the wheel lip depth.

It's a flush wheel, there is no lip. Any fitment.

Those are really cool rims. The design as well as the color choices is good. I especially like the blue, orange and red one.

ALL I could get from engineers at OZ today was approx 17.5 lb. front 18 x 8.5 and about 18.5 or 19 lb. for 10.5-11 rear.

Right now the ETA's listed on our website are estimated and may be here before then. I know front wheels are in production now and the rears next week. We are pushing them HARD to get them here sooner. Obviously getting our first shipment of them into the start of the race season is undesirable. I'm not sure why they waited so long as we have fitments for other cars in stock now, but I don't get to make those decisions.....again, we are trying very hard to get it here as fast as possible. Mid May is probably realistic, though.
