On top of that, they are not knock off wheels. In addition to Porsche wheels, they sell HRE, Fikse, Techart etc. I hardly think the company sells junk but it sounds like you know it all already. Have at it.
thanks for the pics. i had visited that site early on in my search. guess i was wrong but i thought they were oem knock off wheels. in the for sale section when i would see a set for sale, people always asked if they were oem or not so i guessed these sets to be fakes.

you gave up your gt3 for a 997.2? i know what you're saying about the weights. i may spring for a set of OZ's later on. i do go through a lot of wheels

1 lb of unsprung weight is equal to 7 lbs of sprung weight. The 9 lbs per wheel is equal to dropping 252 lbs of stung weight.
