I've just been to the Demon Tweeks site. I'm missing where the prices are? :?

Hi

I got the size, offset, finish etc from Braid's website http://www.braid.es/wheels/products/com ... s_p18.html

and called Demon Tweeks for pricing. I also called Design 911 but their pricing was per the website with no discount, I managed to negotiate a better price with Demon Tweeks.

why don't you put it to D T to offer a package price like your self and get it posted up here. May be even a banner.. It's the core market for the product after all

I would have thought the market is with VW owners

:lol: Thanks but I'm not really up for arranging group buys etc.

I posted the pictures for the interest of anyone, like me, who may be intersted in these wheels but could not find any feedback from an actual purchaser.

Interesting that the various global forums seem to indicate that these rims are popular with historic Porsche motorsport competitors who either dont trust 40+ year old rims, or view original rims as too precious and valuable to race but need a strong, aesthetically, relatively close alternative over forensic accuracy.

Alternatively maybe, like me they are just comfortable fitting wheels produced using modern production techniques, metalurgy control etc by a world renowned motorsport wheel manufacturer, regardless of what badge the vehicle wears or what market they represent. :lol:

I don't even think VW owners could live with the valve cap being where it is Nick... :?
