Does anyone know the dealer who carries this rim made by Neez designed for Porsche? Not replicas but the real thing.

In which country?
I know of two places in the US - PM me for info, as they are not sponsors here. (one of them used to be...)

Send them an email directly to Japan. I got mine from them. Plus shipping would be cheaper from Japan to Singapore.

There is an affordable copy that was just released..."Forgestar F14". I have been looking at them myself. Wheels are advertised as $1499 and they are not cast.

Thanks. I might try that. Neez has a dealer in S'pore but they want to charge me $10K USD for a set of 20". $6K sounds much more reasonable. Did you get the 19" or the 20"?

What's the background of the company making the F14? Japanese have been making samurai swords for centuries.

I read on another forum that it is a sister company to iforged. Can't confirm or deny that and it is purely hear say.

The Neez wheels are no doubt one of the best for that type of concave design and I won't argue on the quality...not sure how that is related to swords tho since they are not aluminum

I've got the 19"s. Driving with 20s in HK is very risky. There are too many potholes and bumps on the road.

I just had a look myself on these Forgestar F14. These can't be comparable with Neez. They are much worse than Morr's VS8.

Won't argue with you Mook....a guy on 6 speed posted his 997 in Japan with Neez installed and it is a great real world pic of wheels on a car. Interestingly enough, the 19" version on a 997 didn't look so glamorous as the 20" on that matte silver Cayman.

My hesitation with Forgestar would be finish quality; usually with cheaper wheels the paintjob is what suffers.

The Neez obviously are top of the line forged wheels... so if you have the $$, go for it.
