Reviews on Roderick RW5 wheels?

Been looking around and really like the look of these wheels. Any insight into the quality of these wheels and how they are to live with?

Are they solid and reliable wheels? Are they a pain to keep clean? (I'm looking at the all silver model).

Any help is appreciated.

Here is a link from one of the site sponsors. No affiliation with them just for an example link of the wheels.

I have them on a '09 Carrera S. Offest is just a couple of millimeters more (less?) than the stock wheels so they sit just a little wider than stock but do a good job of filling out the wheelwell. The car is at stock height. Very easy to clean compared to the original wheels. Porsche dealer had to get creative to mount them because the rim of the wheel is not "clean" like stock wheels so it took a little longer to complete but they balanced out beautifully. The are cast, not forged, so they are what they are. I don't plan on any track days with them. The Sport Classics I had on the car are one of Porsche's heavier wheel so I broke even or shaved a pound or two...maybe. 28# rear and 26# front if memory serves. I am running a 305 on the rear (original tires) and there are no fitment issues.

sleek-sam is infamous around these parts
I have had them on my car for a couple of years now. No bends and no cracks. Im running their widebody offsets on a narrow body, lowered with 315's on the rear and zero rubbing. Good wheels. Hubcentered, a couple different offsets on the rear to suit everyones fitment taste and accepts the stock lugs, locks and TPMS sensors.

What PTParks said about the mounting is true. If you bring it to get mounted somewhere and they dont know what they are doing, it will either a. take some time, or b. scratch the wheel due to installation error.
