19" Porsche RUF Style Wheels Cayman Boxster S 986 987:eBay Motors (item 310118553362 end time May-26-09 12:16:45 PDT)

What do you guys think?

$1199/set
fronts weigh 25lbs
rears weigh 26lbs

slightly heavier than the ultraleggeras i was looking at but for sure much cheaper, and i like the simplistic look.

Going cheap on any Porsche gives me cold chills. Looks good but there are few free lunches and without some more data I'd be skeptical.

Absolutely agree and hence the question. I see plenty of people on the board running replicas though I haven't seen this particular one. One thing I learned in the suby world is that cheap doesn't always mean bad quality. Take Rota wheels for example: they are certainly one of the most popular due to low price and lightweight, and I've got 3 sets on my suby with no issues at all (summer, winter, and a spare set), a reason why I'm willing to give a copycat a try. Maybe I'll be the guinea pig and report back.

Thanks.
