Sorry, I can't PM yet (not enough posts)...

Do you/can you make these in 19"? Looking for the black anodized mesh (as you have in the pic above), but in 9.0x19 and 12.0x19-inch fitted with 235/35 and 305/30 Pilot Sport Cups.

Do you do wheel and tire packages? Interested in wheels + a set of mounted Pilot Sport Cups.

TIA,
We will certainly arrange that for you. We love tires. But not as much as we love wheels.

Thanks for the kind words (I think). I am delivering some new sets to customers in the next few weeks and hope to see a lot of new pics on 6Speed.
All of our forged monoblocks are 100% TPMS compatible.

WOW! Thanks to all of you who sent PMs and especially ORDERS supporting this new product! It is always heartwarming to have your work appreciated by others.
I have passed all of your kind words along to the engineering and manufacturing team.

The OEM 19x11 inch rears weight either 26.9 or 27.8 Lbs, depending on which style. The 18s are likely 1-1.5 lbs lighter. But at 12 inches wide, you will be back at 27 to 28 lbs.
So an 18x12, 19.3 lbs wheel will save you about 8-9 lbs per corner.
That will a big improvement in acceleration and braking, and a nicer ride, too

Mine are 18 inch Sport Techno Wheels that were an added option on my 2005 Turbo S cab. When I replaced the rear tires two years ago we weighed them at 21lbs. fronts should be around 18lbs. You rarely see Turbos with these rims.

According to other posts on 6Speed:

The Sport Techno were made in three sizes

SportTechno
(Hohlspeiche) (Translated:Hollow spoke)
(BBS)
18x8 J .........et50........... 996.362.136.51 ...........9.4 kg
18x10J ......et47 ........996.362.140.52 .......10.5 kg
18x11J ......et63 ........996.362.142.52 .......11.9 kg

This is not my data. But it jives with Porsche Turbo wheel weights from other sources.
