i think that is a gorgeous rim - i just wish they weren't so heavy - on the real porsche wheel, the rear is nearly 30# and the front is over 25# - no idea about the replica, but i can't think it would be too different
I think this is one of the first speedline replicas I have seen that looks like the real thing. I am very temped.
How much difference does the extra weight really make?
it can be calculated, but that much will peel off about 1/2 second from your 0-60, about 2-3 tenths off your 1/4 mile - it will also decrease braking effectiveness and add load to the suspension
that isn't to say that they can't be "fine" for average driving - but, if you are the type to seek every bit of performance, you'll notice it
I had a quick look on the Dutch Porsche Forum. Dimma's wheels are Keskin KT2.
Wow, very heavy. A nice road only option in my view.
i think there is a lighter hollow spoke version out there (still heavy, but not as bad), but i am having a hard time connecting my data to a picture to know for sure
I think I've seen new 18" Keskin's advertised for around $1200 or so.
