Planet 9

Hello again guys/gals. Its been a while since making a Cayman Club / Planet Porsche offering but we are very excited about this new wheel line.

Over the past 6 months we have been taking the company in a different direction and putting more of a focus on non-replica designs and now custom 3-piece wheels aptly named the RW3.

We have established a very close working relationship with AutoArt in Japan to create three exclusive designs. All wheels are 100% custom made to order and utilize a Raderwerks exclusive Step-Lip design.

We can make them in .5" increments up to 13" and diameters ranging from 17" to 22" in almost any color combination.

Wheels are priced per diameter so that means there is no extra charge for larger width wheels.

We are currently turning around sets in about 6 weeks on average. As some of you may know this is lightning speed for a custom made wheel.

For more information please email or call:
info@raderwerks.com / 866.644.9990

Russ,

Good stuff, thanks for sharing, you might also post this in the Vendors & Sponsors forum as well for some extra traction.

I wasn't aware of that forum. I will look into it.

I've been wondering why all the Porsche wheels dissappeared off your site.

Please specify the weight of say 18" x 8.5" and 10". They look good. Tell us how they are made forged, cold cast etc.

Thanks

Outer rim of 6mm high tensile #6061 spun aluminum heat treated to full hard T6 temper.
Inner rim of 5mm high tensile #6061 spun aluminum heat treated to full hard T6 temper.
Center disc of low pressure aluminum casting heat treated to T6 temper.
35 assembly bolts of 8mm(for 17" and 18") and 40 assembly bolts(for 19" and 20").
Silicone sealant of non-acidic cure to seal the joint between the outer and inner rims.
