Victor Equipment Wheels & A little Detail job...

SO I bought some VE wheels and weighed them...
Rears are about 25# and the fronts are about 22#. The wheels are actually mande by TSW. I bought the Lemans Black wheels and althoug I'm happy with them, a few things deserve note...
I bought them through tires direct and ordered their Lug stubs... Got tunner studs that I'll be sending back. Not too impressed with the studs. I also am not happy with the center caps sent with the wheels.... They're silver, and the wheels are black. My Black and silver motif work with using my Porsche crest centers from the (Much lighter) factory hollow spokes (Which will replace my current track wheels!!!). I'm VERY happy with these wheels at $1320 shipped, including valve stems and lug install kit.
I also did Zaino on the car... I only used the Z2, Z5, Z8, along with washing and claybar, and although I HATE having to go thru all the processes of zaino (Will be using Z-AIO next) , the results are amazing!!!

They're stock OEM sizes and offset. 18X11 in back and 18X8 in front. The really are a nice looking wheel for the street, if you don't have to have the top names.

As stated in the original post, I weighed them on a bathroom scale, and they came out at about 22 for the front and 25 for the rear, but 26 wouldn 't surprise me. I was looking for a reasonably strong and good looking street wheel that didn't "look" cheap or have fake rivets on them. I also didn't want to spend $5K on a set of HREs, FIKSEs, or other higher end wheels. These wheels seem to be a very good alternate cost effective solution. The fact that the OEM centers fit are a true bonus... They make the wheel look OEM-ish!

I'll be selling a set of Turbo wheels with MPSCs soon. They're track wheels and by no means perfect, but the tires have LOTS of life on them! Ping me offline if interested.
