It was only a matter of time considering the market for Gas-Burners. Maybe some of you guys already know about it.

Gee, only $1500 not including shipping from the UK, taxes, and duties. Such a bargain. What are real gasburners going for these days? Something like $2K a set, I thought. These copies very probably are not forged superlight items, either.

Yea thats what I was thinking. These are expensive compared to the real deal.

Mahle "gasburners" aren't forged either.

You would think though, that for that kind of $$$ they should be.

It's not their fault that the current administration has devalued the dollar to where it is.

Looks like you can get it in stock finish as well:

What I don't understand is why they are only making 15x5.5. 15x6 or 15x7 in the 911R offset would be awesome for us.

Looks like most of "their" designs were ripped off not from Empi, but from American Racing Wheels from the 50's-60's; they even stole the "Torque-thrust" name from them! Rader wheels are a different story; I can't imagine anyone wanting to steal those ugly damn things!
