My new Vorsteiner wheels for my 997.

I finally receive the new wheels for the Porsche. (Big thanks to Ultimate Audio in Orlando for all their help with sourcing the wheels).

They are the new design V301 Vorsteiner wheels. They are 20x8.5 in the front and 20x12 in the rear. High polish lip, brush spokes with clear. 3 piece forged wheels. Michellin PS2 Sport tires, 245/30/20 front and 305/25/20 rear. One nice thing about the design of the wheel, is they are a directional wheel, so the wheels on the left and right match the direction they should be traveling. Pictures will explain. I am still waiting to hear back from Vorsteiner as I really ordered the original style V301 and they shipped me these. Even though I think they came out good, I still hope they come through on helping me out as they are not quite what I ordered. I am waiting to hear back from them.

looks good....

but I doubt you will be able to return these to Vorst. for the original style you had wanted/ordered because you have mounted tires and installed these wheels, and usually when you do that, the wheels are no longer returnable...imo

5 spoke wheels are the best choice IMO for any car especially the 911s. Nice choice

No, that is not it at all. They no longer make the older style and I am not asking to return these. I was just never made aware that they were discontinued in place of these. They basically built and shipped these without notifying me or the dealer I was working with of the change. I am waiting on a different resolution and I feel confident they might do something. Nevertheless, it is what it is. Everyone at Vorsteiner has been cordial and very nice.

Wheels look great. Do you know the weight of front/rear by any chance?

I was contacted by Vorsteiner and in keeping with their good name and in keeping with great customer service, they have agreed to provide an acceptable resolution to my concerns. I think based on principal alone, this is the type of service I was expecting in the first place and glad they were able to come through. Thank you again Vorsteiner!
