$12k for 1 set?!?! They literally lost it...

BTW Tech1 wheels make sense; they are gorgeous, light, and reasonable.

BBS monoblocks will be the best but the cost is insane...
I have a set that I used in my Gt3 Cup Grand Am spec and will have to sell them because I thought I can mod the center to fir the new RS but I don't know if this will be possible...

I really hope more tire manufacturers offer more choices in 19" SOON. So 18"s might not clear PCCB or are too close for comfort. But 19"s offer very limited tire options. I don't know which is the lesser evil, but I opted staying with 19"s. BTW, I thought was HREs were light. But when I compared the total weight of my HRE/tire combo with stock, I was surprised to find that each front was only 2 lbs lighter, while each rear was 5 pounds lighter.

I had 4 sets of 18" in Porsches with BBK,s and with HRE comp,BBS monoblock,BBS 3 piece GT3 CUP the caliper always scratch the inner part of the wheel but more than a direct contact it is produced by small tire rocks.

To properly fit these cars in 18 inch requires a compromise in the depth of the drop center. This is THE critical dimension. Many wheel manufacturers get this wrong.
We make a special forging specifically for this configuration.

Our 18 inch Tech1s fit perfectly. 5x130 or Centerlock, no problem.
