That is like saying you hooked up with Selma Hayek (my wife knows that THAT would be my free pass) - I don't get jealous but Sportec Mono 10's in 19" in Black or Titanium = jealous..

It's kinda funny how similar in style they are to my Prodrive GC 010G's that are on my NSX. As soon as I get that back a family portrait will be in order.....funny you can't buy them in the USA anymore. Perfect excuse not to let the girly borrow either car anymore...lol

Love em'!

What offset are they? Spacers?

Actually you can still buy them in the US if you contact Sportec directly, they deal with a handful of Porsche dealers in the USA and will be glad to let you go through these dealers for the RS6.

That's good to know....since I need a new center cap. They are a +35 offset installed with Forge 11mm spacers

Has anybody bought anything directly from Sportec yet? I e-mailed them direct asking if I could buy a new center cap and Daniel Werder responded almost immediately. His customer service has been top notch. Anyway, you can buy the center cap directly from them (12.70 CHF) + shipping but you have to wire money directly into their Credit Suisse account before they'll ship the part. Has anybody done this before? If so, did you send money directly from your bank or did you wire it through a 3rd party?

I would go through your bank.

Sportec has been great in dealing with. To get my Sportec IC setup they were extremely quick in responding and processing. I ended up getting my setup earlier than I had anticipated.
Great to deal with them.

....And the wheels look great... you just need some better pix!!!

Tried the bank, but it doesn't look like they wire internationally. Nene, how did you pay for the IC's?

The wheels in the pic are long retired....apparently I have a subconscious affinity for curbs! I'll post pics of the Sportecs as soon as I get back from this next trip.

LOL the international wire fee will be 25-35 dollars.. plus the receiver is charged a fee. hilarious. Like when you get a check back for overpayment of something for $.01, but cost $.42 to send it by post..

It should be no problem for any national bank to send an international wire.. what bank do you use?

I know...the cost of the part + shipping cost of approx. $50 + the insane wire fee = the most expensive center cap of all time. I'm temped to just say f**k it and glue on some Audi caps.

I actually need a cap as well.....see if shipping would be the same for 2 and if so I'll split it with you

If I were you two, I would consider purchasing at least 4. Then you both would have an extra on the shelf.

A gambler might buy 8 and ebay the other 4. As hard as these are to get, you might have some fish & cover your costs of all...;0

Max is right...we have a saying around here, "One is none and two is one." I'll email Sportec and find out if the shipping costs remains the same, then we'll figure out how to split it.

I am in on a set of 4, also for a set of original valve stems.

You can contact me for more details.

I can also contact Boardwalk Porsche when I get back into DFW, they deal with Sportec on a regular basis and maybe we can piggy back the shipment with one of theirs.

Ahhhhh they have their own valve stems.....I may be down to add that as well

I'm out of state right now but I like the idea of contacting Porsche instead of wiring overseas. Let's do this. Who do I need to call?

Yes, she is! But there is another brown girl on the "free pass list".
