Quality of Victor Equipment Wheels - Zehn or Innsbruck?

Hi everyone, just want to see what people through of Victor equipment. Are they good enough for the occasional DE?

Also, What is the difference between Zehn and Innsbruck , Monoblock vs monoblock rotary forged?

http://www.victorequipmentwheels.com...yles/index.php

I am looking for a set of matte black in 18" for a Speed yellow C4S. What looks better?

Thanks,

IMO the quality is ok......they are just heavy.

How about a set of ForgeStar ?

F14's look sweet in matte black.

What's the difference in weight do you know? I currently have OEM solid spokes... are Innsbrucks heavier than OEM?

heavy no they are not, at least not the Innsbrook which are 18.89 lb front 21.45 for 11 inch rears. Love mine, handling and turn in much sharper over the stock rims, really noticable. Quality is very good, not HRE etc but for the price excellent, they are made by TSW.

you will save about 35+ pounds over the stockers, which is huge for unsprung weight savings (usually multiply by six times to get equiv sprung weight savings).

NEB i have them on my car , if you in town happy to try and meet up and you can seem them in person for yourself.

Humm....which ones do you have?

The Victors I looked at a few yrs ago were way heavier than that.

The Innsbruck is actually pretty light weight, especially compared to OEM C4S wheels. Even the Zehn is lighter than the Turbo Look II wheels, but not by much.

I've heard that Victor quality is pretty good for wheels in that price range.

Here's some information for comparison courtesy from David Martin at www.wheelenhancement.com (a company I highly recommend):

Porsche Factory Turbo-look II
8x18” 26 lbs. 2 oz.
11x18” 31 lbs. 6 oz.

HRE R43
8.5x18” 18 lbs. 9 oz.
11x18” 20 lbs. 10 oz.

HRE 563R
8x18” 22 lbs. 7 oz.
11x18” 24 lbs. 13 oz.

Victor Equipment Zehn
8x18” 25 lbs. 4 oz.
11x18” 29 lbs. 9 oz.

Victor Equipment Innsbruck
8x18” 18 lbs. 8 oz.
11x18” 22 lbs. 9 oz.

Thanks everyone. Looks like the Innsbruck is quite a bit lighter than stock.

I guess forgestar F14 is even lighter than that.
18×8.5 +48 17.6 lbs or in metric 7.98kg
18×9.5 +48 19.4 lbs or in metric 8.80kg
18×10 +42 19.2 lbs or in metric 8.70kg
18×12 +68 20.0 lbs or in metric 9.07kg

Still waiting for a quote for the Forgestars.

I bought the innsbrucks and installed them on my speedyellow C4s. I think they look great. I had them repainted in a gloss with a pin stripe on the outer edge.

Innsbrucks are very light and pretty strong, I've tracked mine (with MPSCs) for two seasons, including 36 laps of the Nordschleife without any problems.
