When you can buy a set of 2.0 Fuchs for a couple hundred bucks, spending 2800+ on wheels that look very much the same doesn't make sense.

If I'm going to spend money on stock-ish looking wheels, they will be for alumn steelie looking wheels for the 356 that I can swap on my 914 whenever I want an old school look of hubcap wheels with lightweight benefits.



Half the stuff a lot of buy for our cars don't make sense (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Many purchases are done because you want something, nothing wrong with that.

Not sure how one can justify spending the same amount of money for those 356 wheel just because you can swap them between 2 different vehicles? And what are the odds you'd swap them on a regular basis to justify it?

I wonder if Braid gets the same negative response to their $800 a pop 17" 5 lug Fuch looking rims?

Well,they are selling,and a set of 18 x 12"+ on the 912 Turbo RSR would look right at home.
1100 hp needs some big tree saps to stickum.

Well,that really is it,the difference in the cost is proportional to the the method of manufacture.
A diecast Mahle or ATS is less than a forged item from either supplier.
Apples and oranges,or mangoes in the case of cfrp rims.
The why of the price of admission to the race club,Porsche 918s are a little pricey.
Last I checked,no one is diecasting con rods,though I believe that may change soon.
A powdered metal matrix pressing of MgSiC is within the realm of possibilities.
The costs involved,again,are not small for short run production.
The recent advances made in Magnesium/Nano crystal composites are a signal that the masses can reduced by a factor of 0.6.
The strength and high temp performance point to SBC pistons of 180gm,the conrods of similar lightness for the equivilant strength.
Diecasting,then a subsequent hammer upset in such a material would achieve an unprecedented strength/weight ratio.
Wouldn't be inexpensive initially,as is true for every commodity.
The advantage for the aerospace application is obvious,range and load capacity doubled,component lifetime indefinite.
All good,now,how deep into the pocket are you ready to dig.?
I am not advocating the practice,merely noting the reality of the way of the world.Cheep?
An economical way to get a great deal on a set of hot wheels is to simply ring up midnight auto supply and place an order.
As in all things,there is however,some risk attached and the awareness of being bad.

The availability of different sizes is really nice. The only issue for the higher power cars is you're still working off the smaller cv's. One of the benefits of the five lug conversion was I was able to use early 911 cv's. They easily handle the power of a 3.2 or 3.6. The other benefit is brake choices. I'm not saying everyone needs that versatility and certainly it's not a simple bolt on but $2,800 does buy a lot of options.

They're making a stupid profit margin on these due to the air cooled price bubble.
