They are good but very heavy.
Cargraphic isn't what it used to be after the 2 owners/brothers got into a fight and splitted up the company.

Had them on my 993 RS. Lovely wheels and originally very light with spun alloy inners and outers, they then went over to stainless steel outers yikes Great from a maintenance/corrosion perspective, but waaaaay heavier.

I suspect the comment means they'll be good, but pricey.

I've no knowledge of the forged wheels the OP is giving consideration too. What I would say is this : Cargraphic had issues with their early 3 piece split rim wheels, this led to some of the centres cracking. They modified the design (added some fillet radiai) (sic ?) to rectify the problem. Threafter there were no further issues.

I'm looking at 1 piece spun forged, which are about the same weight as forged alloys, and which cost about 50% of forged alloys (30% of cost of HRE forged alloys)
