OK so after alot of looking around and learning more about rims (cast vs forged) than I really wanted to know, I finally decided to go with one of the following wheels for around the 2K mark. All have pros and cons that make them almost all equivalent in my opinion. So my question is which wheel manufacturer has the best reputation and best overall quality build/strength of wheel?

1. OZ Ultraleggera HLT
2. Forgestar F14
3. Victor Equipment Innsbruck

 

OZ will have the best reputation being in this for decades and they are very light too - Forgestar has the best looking design IMO due to the rear concavity and spoke design.

I can't speak for the Victors, but I see them as the clear 3rd choice (and cheapest too).

Were you thinking of 19s or 20s? This will influence your decision as well.

 

Flip a coin, heads is OZ, tail is Forgestar

 

I'm going with 19". My favorite design is the HRE P40's but they are cost prohibitive. The Victor's are specifically made for Porsche and TSW who makes them have been around for years. Why do you rank them 3rd? I am leaning to the OZ's also for their rep and the fact they are made in Italy, but I'm not sold on the design yet although they aren't bad. I do like the Victor's design but they lack the concavity in their design.

 

The Victors are flat faced (no concavity) and the front width is only 8". Ideally you want a 8.5" or even a 9" at the front.

If you want concavity, the F14s are the ideal choice. Considering they are in stock now in brushed aluminum reduces any potential delivery issues as well. If you want a custom finish, they also offer a much wider variety than Victor or OZ.

 

Does anyone have pics of their black 997 or basalt black 997 with the OZ Ultraleggera HLT's in the matte graphite silver?

Yeah me too. I just have to be sold on the design on my car. Not sure how it will look.

 

Can you specify offset with the forgestars?

 

You can only do so if we build a set from scratch, but those won't accept Porsche center caps and lug bolts.
