BC Forged KL11 21" Wheels on 2023 4SCT

[mjw930]

Not the best pictures but I’m really happy with the package. I subtracted 12mm from the offset and have just the poke I wanted. With RWS I didn’t want them right on the fenders.

Here’s the specs.

Front
21x9.5" +48 - PZ4 265/35x21” NF0
Rear
21x11.5” +54 - PZ4 305/30x21” NF0

Color: Gloss Brushed Grey (Translucent)

Looks good! Do you have standard brakes? If so, any concern about rust showing through with those types of wheels? I'm tempted to get something similar but the thought of seeing a bunch of rust has made be hold off.

Standard 4S steel brakes. I’ve had open mesh wheels on every Porsche I’ve ever owned (14), all had steel brakes and rust has never been an issue. The only time any showed rust was after a wash and a quick lap around the block to heat them up cleared the rust and dried them out. And the rust was only on the rotor face, the hubs and caps are anodized and rarely ever rust, even the SUV’s.

So no, I’ve never worried about rust.

And for reference, the car is coming up on 2 months old and is usually daily driven and has only been washed once. Being on the Florida coast it has rained 45 of the 60 days we’ve owned it. Although it lives in a garage overnight, 5 days a week it sits in an uncovered parking lot. Not a spec of rust anywhere on the rotors, hubs or suspension. Zoom in, the car hasn’t been washed in 3 weeks. You will see the black brake dust on the calipers.

Also, the color balance and contrast on the iPhone in the overcast light makes these look a lot lighter than they do in person. The wheels are a lot closer to the dark grey of the car than the silver you see in these pictures.

Fantastic, that is great to hear. Looks like I'll be looking for wheels again!

For reference here are the weights. These are wheels and tires.

Front
Factory 20” = 59.6 lbs
BCForged 21” = 53 lbs (25 lb wheel, 28 lb tire)
Savings = 6.6 lbs / corner, 13.2 lb / axle
Rear
Factory 20” = 66.4 lbs
BCForged 21” = 59.8 (27.8 lb wheel, 32 lb tire)
Savings = 6.6 lbs / corner, 13.2 lb / axle

Yes, both have the exact same weight difference, that’s quite a coincidence. 26.4 lbs is a lot of savings considering these are bigger wheels and tires. I was shocked, at best I was expecting them to be maybe 2 lbs per corner considering the upsize.

Your wheels look great. Any idea what the weight is of the 21" Porsche Spyder wheels is?

Not specifically but based on my weights here is what the 20" Turbo Design are

Front = 31.6 lbs
Rear = 35.4 lbs

Disappointingly heavy IMHO for Porsche.

I thought I liked the turbo wheels until I seen them in person.

Decent aftermarket wheels look great on Taycans
