4.5 Polished Porsche Alloys On The Way!
« 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.

5.5 shown

Old news Geoff.  Flat Four has been working on them for a while.

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

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.
