Oh. I never showed off my wheels on this thread.

Those look pretty slick on volcano grey. What wheels are those?

I think if I had a sedan I would most def try to get a set of these incredible wheels - embarrassed, as I did not record which forum mbr posted these but they area apparently custom made and to my eye look seriously rad !

I’ve been searching for these wheels. Any idea what forum you saw them on?

I have these in production right now, almost done. Then I wait for shipping. Hopefully will have them installed in the next 2 months some time.

Went with an OEM+ mentality when designing these. Took a style similar to the RS Spyder wheels but a little thinner, and mixed that with the Mission-E look and feel.

@fika those are nice!

Are you a wheel manufacturer?

Nope, I contacted one to make me a set of wheels.

Who did the stress analysis? Those spokes look a bit thin for Taycan torque!

They do all of the analysis in software. The spokes look thin but are reinforced/thick in the back section, there are much thinner designs out there. These are milled from forged billet monoblock blanks. Load rating for each wheel is over 950kg.

Stock 21" dimensions with stock offset -12 on all four (+48/+54). They weigh approx. 27lbs / 30lbs.

I've had two sets of wheels from them already on previous cars, one set on a Model S Performance (20") and the other on a GV60 Performance (21").

Hope the rim is thick!
I have only designed wheels for Formula 1 cars but that was for performance not styling and was a long time ago! 950kg wouldn't be nearly enough for aero and cornering forces even though the car weigher about 750kg with driver and fuel.

In an EV my concern would be the bending moment where the spoke meets the rim when torque is applied but if they are using FE analysis with real loads and safety factors I am sure it will be OK.

All good, and yes these are definitely not rated for F1 or hardcore racing.

More production photos/video below. I'll hopefully have these on a boat or plane to LA soon.

Oh and for reference here is a wheel from the Turbo GT, spokes look pretty similar in thickness

Beautiful!!! But that thing will be hell of a nightmare to fix curb rashes!!! That is something that keeps me up at night on my mission E wheels lol. These seem worse/harder

Got the new P Zero R Taycan tires installed on the new wheels today. They are much wider than the F1 Asymmetric 3, about 1" front and back, in the same sizes (265/305).

Car is filthy, washed it after I took all the pics unfortunately.
