<center><img src="http://www.oct-tuning.com/shop/catalog/images/Dsc02045_1.jpg"></center><p>They just became available in 19x8.5 and It seemed to me inthe article I was reading that they would be offered in 18" too because it talked about how much the 18" would weigh.

They are forged and the 19s weigh 20.9lbs

I love these rims!!! They work with coilovers and with stoptechs! I want! but not in 19

Have you asked about the price yet? That will change your mind.

Default 3,495 euros for 19s last time I looked... still cheaper than

the $4300 for P86 Sport Techno 18" Hollow Spokes for a Boxster S (on order).

Default Yep, but I don't know if the 20% tax is applied to foriegn orders...

Pete at Stratmosphere said (a few months ago)they'd be avail. early next year, can't remember if 18s were incl. I'm very interested in this rim... looks-wise and weight-wise.

Default I found the old thread, Pete said hopefully cast 18s should be avail. spring '04...

...so they should be considerably less than the forged 19.

Default No they don't. 7 vs 9 spoke plus the lip around the rim.

The center is different too.

The MTM spoke shape and rim detail are closer but they are 9-spoke.
