Mag Wheels

Just a suggestion - what about buying the freely available "fronts" and having Dymag machine off the Rim and fit a Carbon fibre rim with the correct width and offset for the rear? Then finish them in silver. George 944t 964rs
 
Hi there , there is a company in kent called Creasy casting , all they do is magnesium parts and they manufacture all the wheels for Dymag ( mag wheels for cars and bikes ) they are very nice people , they may well have the info of looking after and preparing and powder coating ect.. Dymag on there web is offering refurbish service (only for their wheels) they may have some info as well .. Konstantin C4
 
http://www.creasey-castings.co.uk/ They look like a good company to approach to discuss the potential cost of RS mag reproductions?
 
hi , I am sure they can , the cost of the casting and developpement would need a big group buy , the other alternative but not period look is to buy the 18 " 993 mag center speedline center lock and have them drilled for the 5 studs you can apparently buy them for about 750 € a wheel in Germany .

You can put me down for a set.[:)] I had my mags refurbed by Pristine in Woburn Sands back in June following the discussions here and they seem to be OK. I recall that you had yours done there also, are you still happy with them?
 
Sounds like a good idea, maybe cheaper than a set of std Dymags at £2k, (Dymag already do mags with a carbom rim (in std gt3 sizes I think but ooh the price!) Tony
 
I have emailed them but am awaiting a reply. Apparently the latest BBS Ali's are light --- but is there anywhere to compare the weights of alternatives ??

Chris, I'd be very interested in hearing what Creasey have to say regarding costs if we could get a large enough group of us interested and someone is willing to loan a perfect front and rear to cast from. For wheel-weights see the link below - Click 'Felgen' in the left column, then click the link 'tabelle' to view a table containing most standard Porsche Wheel Options (incl BBS/Speedline) including their weights without tyres. http://www.944racing.de/reload.php?urltogo=http://www.944racing.de/wheelweights.html
 
Hi , one more alternative but not periode is OZ wheels they do an alloy one that is lighter than the Mag Cup ( on italian web) 18x8 for 8kg and 18x 10 8,7 kg , but they not stating ET on web . also I came a cross of a racing catalogue in France they sell specialy made for them magnesium OZ wheels 8x18 and 18x 10 nice style like Ultralegera witch they say fit 964 RS on the catalogue , the front ones are 47 ET the rear one I need to find out next week the price; 550 € each not bad ?? company is BPS-RACING in France Konstantin C4
 
Or you could just buy these, newly refurbed, from Jasmine with bids starting at £2995: [link=http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390025805584&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390025805584&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123[/link] I assume the bit about the rears being 9 X 19 is just a typo!
 
I had my mag's refurbed about five years ago by Ian Jemmison Engineering of Bishopthorpe, York. I remembered his details as the guy who repaired magnesium Minilite rally wheels for years, as advertised in Motoring News.Judging by this forum's experiences I'd say he did a good job as they remain unmarked after plenty of use EXCEPT that ane of the front rims has crazed and did not improve for long after it was re-done (F O C ). This is not uncommon with magnesium and is apparently to do with gas between rim and paint? For the record he uses the dipping method so the lettering remins intact. He is used to Porsches as he has a 996, rallies a Boxter and supplies many por sche dealers with wheel re-furbs. Ian
