Does anyone know what the make and model of Wheels these are?

[LVDell]

I have seen those on eBay before. Not sure of the brand but I know one of the guys on the rennlist 996 forum bought them so you might want to post there as well.

What are the wieghts on those suckers?

Rears are supposed to be 20lbs. I'm bumming becasue I bought a set of brand new Turbo Look 2's and I really should have held out for something different for a little more money.

Nice wheels!

Just looking at their construction they look exactly like a Champion Monolite (Champion Motorsport), except they don't sell a ten-spoke design like that.

Another close match would be an HRE 843R (HRE Wheels) in a painted finish with a polished rim, except the HRE spokes are a bit thinner.

Maybe someone else knows exactly what they are...

I just found out they are from Brandywine. Brandywine Type One Rims.

[LVDell]

Huh? Brandywine is a dealer not a manufacturer.

I think I located the userID of the guy that has those rims. On rennlist his ID is RJMAD996. He may be on this board too.

Nope Confirmed they worked with Champion Motorsports and designed their own wheel, Spoke with Justin at the dealership.

[LVDell]

Really? That is odd. But if you talked to Justin then I believe it. I have dealt with him on several occasions. Just not sure I understand the rationale for desiging wheels. Didn't think dealerships designed their own wheels, especially when they are extremely similar to an existing wheel (the sprot designs).

Yeah I just wish I could afford them now.

[LVDell]

Afford them? What are they asking?

$5000.00

[Coaster]

Knew they looked like Champions! :P

$5k sounds about right. The monolites are a very light, very well made wheel (just put some on my C2) and other models (regular production line) run about $4.5k a set.

[LVDell]

They are smoking crack. I have seen wheels very similar to those if not the same wheel for less than 2K on eBay. Adn, are the same ones the guy on rennlist I told you about bought. You need to be patient.
