VICTOR ZEHN WHEELS ON 996 C4S
I recently replaced my 18" Turbo twists with VICTOR ZEHN WHEELS ON 996 C4S.
The look is more modern, less organic, lighter.
I hope they endure the rigours of track days at Mont Tremblant.
For now, they make the C4s look longer, lighter and modern... like a 991! (Sorta)

Victor wheels are designed by a German company, TSW, and manufactured in China.
They are well made, hollowed spokes, nicely finished.
These are cast...NOT forged.
The Innsbruck is roto-forged.
Cost? about $1500 Cdn.
I bought them at Trend Motoring in Vancouver.

Brian,
Both center caps are 'innies'.
They were repositioned in Photoshop to appear vertical... the shadows were not modified.
Talk about an eye for detail!!!!

When I installed the wheels, there was not a scale to weigh the wheels.
However, I held the Twist in one hand, the Zehn in the other.
Subjectively, I'd say the Zehn is about 3-4 lbs LIGHTER.
Thanks for all the positive feedback.
I put the car away yesterday, and now I will endure the numb longing for springtime and a return to driving the Porsche on the track.
We use Mont Tremblant in Montreal, and Calabogie in Ottawa.
For those who 'think' they are good drivers, and have never been on a race track, I suggest you rethink your confidence! Track driving and instruction is AMAZING. The skill level improvement is geometric, and once returning to the street, you will never drive the same way again.
Maybe this topic is deserving of another thread.

I've been thinkng about some new wheels for the C4S and I really like the look of the Zehn. The price is pretty reasonable too, which is nice.
Does anybody have any additional information on the weight vs. the OEM Turbo Look II wheel (solid spoke)? Also, I would imagine that the Zehn would be fine for track duty, but I'd love to hear some thoughts on that too...
