I thought Dymag was history & I would be SOL if I damaged one.

I thought Dymag was out of business too. Are you buying them used?

I think dymag is out of business now so anything you are buying is someone's left over inventory i think

I am thinking of buying a slightly used set at a decent price...very nice photos...would it be better to paint them silver or leave them black?
i suppose the above photos are with stock (pasm0suspension,not a lowered car?

BUT I dont think I would buy a set unless they were for peanuts as there is no way of fixing them or replacing faulty parts if there is any issues!!

So I would personally becareful with this descision.

Goodluck,

Be careful with buying used Dymag. It's bankrupt so there is no more service and I personally wouldn't touch it with 10 foot pole, but it's up to you.

There were some problems with leak. This might have been fixed, but company is out of business, so you're basically hosed if it happens to you.

One sample of the old gen Dymag shattered, so the company changed to a new alloy recently. In other words, there is a gen 2 Dymag.

Too bad; this is one of the most beautiful wheels I've seen. BBS Fi is the one I would get now if I were looking for new wheels.

on my 996TT i had first gen dymags (18inch) for a year without any trouble...One wheel was leaking but it just needed retightening...i was very happy with improved brake distance (and fading) and suspension control...Also they were piece of art...
where is the good price you found?

I sent Bill at Rennworx, the USA distributor, an email about the status of Dymag and this was his reply:
