Title: 4.5 Polished Porsche Alloys On The Way!
Post by: Geoff on January 12, 2005, 11:20:36 AM: Just wanted to let everyone here know that we will soon have the 4.5 Porsche Alloy replica wheels in Full polish. We should start to see the first ones in a month or so. These will make for a perfect match to our 5.5 deep dish alloys we offer.

Yes Tom, they are cast. So they will weigh more than the real deal.

Post by: Geoff on January 12, 2005, 03:02:52 PM: Ohhh Bruce, How can it be old news if they are not even made yet? (not everyone has the inside scoop that we do)Yes Flat 4 has been working on them for a while but (Over a year and so had another comp) we just got word that they are almost ready! Good news for everyone who wants a 4.5 Porsche wheel and not wanting to pay the over the top prices of a orig.
These only weigh a little more than a orig and yes they are cast just like every other Empi 5, BRM replica, 8 spoke and other wheel on the market today.
