damn those look great... anyone got some pics on the Z??

 

They look sweet. Are they a true 3 piece wheel?

 

I actually saw a set at a local shop, They are 1 peice. The choice of offsets are either 35mm or 20mm.

The 279 model looks bad *** in person.

 

Nice! Is that $900 for one rim or for the set?

 

$900 for the set. I asked the seller if he had pictures of it in the "hyper black" color with the polished lip.

 

Here is the ad they used my car in with the 10 spoke one and pics of my car with the split 5 spoke ones, they are the 18" ones.

 

Really? I thought RUFF were a high quality expensive wheel. Thats an awesome deal then for 900$. Thats like 233$ a wheel. Damn, Avg volks are like 500-600$ a rim. Anyone have these yet on their Z? PICS!!! BEN

 

These wheels look much like the 4 series of HRE's. If they cost $900 a wheel then that seems costly for a 1 pc wheel. If $900 a set, looks like a good deal.

 

278 set looks really nice.. I might have to pick a set up

 

I belive in the add above the numbers got swapped, 278 and 279 are opposite, look at their site for accurate model numbers www.statuswheels.com/ruff.html.

The offsets are +20, they were designed to specifically clear the Z specs including the Brembo's. They come in hyperblack or silver. The price is around 900 per set.

 

WESTPAK, are those 18"s or 19"s?

 

Do I need to roll fenders with +20? I am seriusly considering the 278's ( trying to be a balla on a budget )

 

The ones in the ad were 19's but I went with 18's for cheaper tires and more tire choices.

Mine are not rolled and with Eibachs, if you choose a tire close to stock diameter you should be fine.

 

any other vendors that sell these wheels other then on ebay?

 

Contact Scott at scott@statuswheels.com he is their General Manager and he can tell you where you can get them in your area.

 

How much do these wheels weigh?

 

I weighed the 17's, the Rays and the Ruff's, then I subtracted the weight of the tires per the weight described on tirerack. The 17's and Rays are probably a little off on the light side as they are worn and probably not the weight listed, I had a difference in the right and left rear Rays of .5 pounds as one was a little more worn than the other.

Anyway here is the estimated weight of the wheels based on the above:

17" Front 22.5
17" Rear 22.00 (probably due to a lot less tread than the fronts which are almost new)

Rays Front 16.5
Rays Rear 16.5 (both Rays are a little light probably because of the tread wear, I think they are supposed to be around 18)

Ruff Front 25.0
Ruff Rear 27.0

So basically the difference from the 17's is around 2-3 pounds (talking into acount tread wear) and 7-9 pounds from the Rays. Which I don't think is that bad considering you get an extra half inch and inch from the Rays and an extra inch and a half from the 17's. There is the info.

 

The other expensive wheels design for porsche are spell RUF, these are RUFF with two F's.

 

can anyone attest to the quality? resistance to bends... clear coat peeling etc.
