In my quest to find a set of AutoCross wheels I ran across YourWheelsUsa.com who sell a set of cast wheels 18" for about $700.00 for my Cayman. The price seems pretty good but I am wondering if a cast wheel is safe and if anyone has done business with YourWheelsUsa.com and can comment on the quality of their products.

There is a company in San Diego (EuroTech or something likethat) that sells this wheel also, $695 for the set, I believe. David Gardner got a set, you might pm him...

You could try Eurotech. Here's their web site. http://stores.ebay.com/EuroTech-Luxury-Wheels_Porsche-Wheels_W0QQfsubZ122609018

They are in San Diego. Their phone number is on the web page.

I have no affiliation, I just bought a set from them and they work on my car.

Do you think that they will stand up to the rigors of AutoX?

I've run them under time trial conditions and they held up to that.
