You are right about the color options however we did show a photo of a gloss gun-metal finish in an earlier post (however this was only a sample we received from the factory during our test-fitting, they must have been painting that color on other wheels that day and in efforts to get our sample out quickly they painted whatever color they were shooting at that time.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

This new light weight design wheel is a answer to those looking for a LIGHT, STRONG & Good design for the Porsche 18" wheel market.
Wheels are solely distributed by Wheel Dynamics Inc., we offer a limited lifetime warranty when purchased directly through Wheel Dynamics only.
MSRP: $1999
MAP: $1799
DIRECT: $1599 (on the Wheel Dynamics site)
Dealer inquiries welcome.
The wheels are VIA and JWL Certified, they are manufactured in Taiwan, the manufacture who has been offering us the 808-Series wheels is now built this wheel in Semi-forged.
The back of the spokes also has less mass requirements as you can see from this photo: (This helps reduce the weight of the wheel and gives you more low-end speed at launch)
Huh? These were built mainly around the Porsche 996 Narrow body....
Factory front 18x8 (et. 50) This wheel 18x8 (et. 45)
Factory rear 18x10 (et. 65) This wheel 18x10 (et. 50)
Fronts are spaced out 5mm
Rears are spaced out 15mm
From what I've read a +50 is a really tight fit and causes rubbing on some cars. My car is a 2000 model C2 which is said to have less rear clearance than later 02+ cars.
The 50-et. is a good fit either models 99-01 or 02-04, now if you are lowering the modifying the car + camber then it will get tight, we use the 19x8.5 and 19x10 standard on all of our 996NB applications.
We will be taking actual photos sometime this week on the 996, so if you are seriously considering please hold on so we can get you better fitment details.
If those weights are accurate, a 9"/12" (or even 11" rear) option would be killer. 245/315 (those not using 315 are using 275-295 at least) is such a common tire size for track use but you can't find wheels the right size without going custom.
Bull$hit!(per Quadcammer). Those are the best offsets you can have on a 996 IMO filling out your wheel wells as best as possible.
OZ's are ugly IMO and these look way better. If I didn't already have my BBS and Champions, I'd be all over these in a heartbeat.
These are probably the best, lightest, stylish wheels currently on the market for the price IMO. It sure beats the slightly outdated and more dull looking Victor Innsbruck too IMO.
We would have to re-scale however the best of our recollection right off the pallet the front was 18.1-lbs and the rear was 19.15-lbs
So there were just about 1/10th a fraction over the posted weights.
We do have plans of bringing in the 11" rears in wide-body applications, however the demand for narrow body cars running the 11" rears is uncertain.
We wanted to build something that was light weight, stylish and affordable. You may or may no know this unless you are in the manufacturing side of things but each mold front and rear cost $10,000 to draft, draw, and make, so before we make one wheel we are 20K in without one wheel made.
I just want to throw this out there so you all can understand why we don't offer many different styles. We are hoping to grow our wholesale market but it's tougher than it was before 2006.
We certainly hope you will consider buying a set and post up photos, we are working on getting them installed on a 996/944/928 (just for fun) and even a 993 n/b. We will see what happens!
How do you think the market looks for Turbo/C4S guys? If we did we would only need to build a rear at 18x11, the the front the same and use a lower off-set, maybe et.40
Give me feedback, or maybe we should post on the Turbo side?
I'm sure a lot of 4S and turbo owners would consider this wheel if it was offered at similar prices. I'd definitely post in boost forum to gauge interest.
Pretty sure we can keep the prices consistent across the board for the wide-body guys...
Let us know if you post up an interest thread so we can chime in and link photos!
LOL.... Okay, we will post soon, but I want to try and get some photos on the 996 before we do this. This way we can have something to display,
Give us a couple of days.
Thanks,
No can do, we seem to receive more negative comments on Rennlist over any other forum so we probably won't do that. (Guess everyone is dating super models around here
)
I run 8,5x18 et40 & 11x18 et55 's on a narrowbody. Not issues whatsoever. Fenders rolled, front camber 3,2 deg, rear 2,3 deg.
Tyres are 235/40 & 295/30 MPSC2s.
We will more than likely offer an 11" for wide body cars before offering them for narrow body cars. The design of these wheels doesn't give us that much space to go higher in off-set, this would mean the cost of an additional mold or modifying one of the molds with less concave in order to achieve this higher off-set.
Quick snap....
Great fit, zero rub on this lowered 996 nb...
Cranked the wheels all the way front and back on Michelin 225/40/18 and 265/35/18 (factory sizes)
Please note, due to the deepest concave we could get out of this wheel the lug bolts on the rear will poke out, this is since the back-pad is as low as safely possible.
We will post up more tomorrow... just a last minute preview.
I live in So Cal and I have purchased wheels from them and installed onsite. Nothing but a great experience!! Also they lowered my car and installed both Fabspeed exhaust and Fabspeed intake. Great prices and service. Buy with confidence. Eli and his group will treat you right.
I just ordered a set of these wheels directly from Wheel Dynamics. I went with the hyper silver. I also got the zinc coated lug nuts and center caps. I won't be able to get them on my car for about 2-3 weeks, but as soon as I do the pictures will be posted. I have a 2002 C2, stock suspension. I also want to mention I spoke with Eli, and not only did he answer a lot of questions about wheels, he didn't mind chatting about a few other Porsche subjects. So far the experience has been great.
Thank you very much for your call and order today, it was our pleasure.
Looking forward to pictures on your 996, we are working on getting photos for the 944 Turbo S (951) later in the day. We are also working on processing images for Satin Black as well, we took those photos however we need time to process, upload, host etc.
Thank you all and remember you can call if you need tech advice or assistance since we also offer tires for your package needs as well. [phone removed]
If you want to have use production a custom color we can do but need to have at least 10-sets total pre-sold in order to do a production run for this. We have a minimum of 120-pieces on any one order/color so we will pre-sale 40 wheels and inventory the additional 80-pieces on your request with pre-sales.
Food for thought!

Mounted pics are black and silver correct? Can we see the dark silver finish mounted I think I am in for a set if I can use the tires from my GT3 sport designs?
As far as I know the wheels come in two finish options: Hyper Silver or Satin Black. Both portrayed in the pics above. The dark silver is just "mood lighting."
These wheels are only available in Hyper Silver or Satin Black, we can do a special production run that won't cost you a dime more, the catch is that I need at least 7 pre-orders before I can do this.
These wheels are the same width as the factory 18" option on the 993 and 996 so using the factory 225/40/18 and 265/35/18 or 285/30/18 is do-able. The photos show 225 front and 265 rears.
In-stock ready to ship same day!

You are right about the color options however we did show a photo of a gloss gun-metal finish in an earlier post (however this was only a sample we received from the factory during our test-fitting, they must have been painting that color on other wheels that day and in efforts to get our sample out quickly they painted whatever color they were shooting at that time.
The bolts are at the same location as you factory wheels, however given the design of the DEEPEST Concave available for an 18" Porsche fit exposes the bolts that would normally be buried deep in a stock wheel that has not concave design to it.
There is not worry, it is simply the design of the wheel, the only way to keep the bolts hidden is if we were to un-concave the wheel, but then you would be left with something like a Victor wheel which is a flat face.

Can't wait to see those in full frame, don't forget to email us full images so we can post up on our social medias and or our site! Just make sure your neighbors car or kids are not in the background...
Thanks again for your purchase!
WD Team,
Thanks for the photos ej. Could you snap a full car side view? It would be greatly appreciated. I was hoping to see these on an arctic silver non aero car.

Just got my new wheels installed and they look great. Big improvement over stock. Not sure that the lug bolts in the rear are properly seated (see photo). They make contact on one side only leaving a gap which is largest at the opposite point. Is this intentional or did the shop do something wrong? They are closed today but will go back Monday to be sure. Overall very happy with the wheels.
There is nothing wrong with how the rear lug nuts are seated. Yes, there is a gap. That is the one trade off of achieving a deep concave design on the rear wheel. The lug nuts are positioned exactly where they have always been, nothing has changed with the physical positioning of the lug nuts. You're good, no trip back necessary. My earlier posts show both my front and rear wheel and they look exactly the same as yours.
The "Gap" that you are referring to is actually the design of the lug bolt, I've attached so you can see this design in the bolt. If there was really this gap your car would be undriveable.
I want to correct my word choice on my previous post. There is no gap. As Wheel Dynamics pointed out, it's the design of the lug nut and the uniquely shaped washer.
If we were to use the bolt on the left this illusion would not be seen, however the bolt on the right is a swivel base washer consistent with the factory design (this twin style is actually found on most Cayenne models) which prevents the paint stripping or scoring during tightening or torque setting.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
