These look amazing. Curious where you got these (sounded like you had a referral but wasn’t sure)?

I got the number from a few others on this forum who bought them. I was not sure if it was a scam or not because it sounded a bit to good to be true but in this case thank goodness it was true.

Love the rims!

Nice. Are those 20’s?

I bought my car with them, but they are amazing. It's one of the first things people comment on.

No 19 inch

No 19 inch

It must be aftermarket then. Porsche doesn't make 19-inch Mission E, only 21-inch.

Lol I thought that Taycan was on 17" Mission Es for a min..........

OP, I would use extreme caution buying from aftermarket who copy OEM designs and pass them as replica's. Usually, quality and safety are big concerns. In the wheel industry, you get what you pay for. OEM Mission E wheels are ballpark 7-8K.

it would be interresting to know if anyone ever had any problem with their aftermarket wheels and what happened?
Anyone want to share?

I did a ton of research before buying my rims. What I found was 99 percent of all rims made are manufactured in China. These rims are forged aluminum which is the strongest material light weight material for a rim. I also found so many articles stating that others have never found any legal issues (class action etc) with aftermarket rims. It is a massive industry if you look into it.
I have no regrets with my aftermarket rims. In fact when I took my car back to the dealer person after person came out and look at the rims and other than the tire size (19 not 21) no one from the dealer could tell they were not stock.

I just want to advise caution. Not all forged wheels are the equal. In the wheel industry its very common for Chinese replicas to copy established designs and sell at a fraction of the cost with no regard to safety. It has nothing to do with being made in China. There are tons of high-quality items made in China. No offense, but you are buying a critical safety item in the back corners of the internet from an unknown, unestablished manufacturer and assuming everything will be ok. There are tons of cases of replica wheels failing all over the internet. Search any popular automotive forum.

The real question is, do you risk your safety and others just to save a few thousand bucks? If the cost is the problem, why not keep the stock wheels? YMYV

Where did you get them? What's the brand?

 

[Archimedes]

There is a big difference between established Western companies that have manufacturing performed in China, to their own specs, production processes, and QC procedures vs. simply a Chinese company manufacturing knockoffs using their own processes. Lumping all Chinese manufacturing into one basket is very misleading.

Problem I got with Porsche is the money grab they do with the brakes you have to spec with them. I’m fine with folks getting aftermarket mission Es
