Dear All,
sorry for this sudden incoming, but the offer could be interesting both for me than for You.
ivo from italy.
i own mk2 tts with main use track-days.
This is not a commercial offer from a dealer.
I'm a private user. The reseller of the manifacturer has done an offer for a small group-buy and I'm trying to find people intersted.
The offer is very interesting IMHO
since i need light (real light) wheels (less than 10kilos), like my oz ultraleggera for my previous VW-R32
(

)
Remember than light wheels (for rotant masses effects) are important concerning:
- acceleration
- handling
- brake power
- brake temperature
- tyre temperature
I think that they are important for sporty use as ECU map or exhaust system
i've verified all the main manifacturer (oz, speedline, fondmetal, enkei, bbs and so on)
no one produces a wheel 18"x9J with 5x112
only advan and volk from japan (but terrific price and delivery)
or ATS from germany (but near to 400euro each and minimum 12weeks delivery)
Now I've found italian manifacturer ARCASTING.
they work mainly for rallys teams or racing divisions
and they have 18"x9J, so they have developed a wheel that fit to TT-TTs-TTrs specifications and fit with my big brake kit by omnicompetition (6pot and 355x32 rotor)
My car and my brakes works with stock 18" S-line (9Jx18 et52) but i have 3mm from wheel to caliper and the s-line is 13kilos.
The wheel is the Arcasting Excalibur Eally with 9 spokes
(it looks like the wonderful Alleggerita by OZ) and Arcasting says that the wheel will substain 750kilos each and the weight will be less than 10kilos.
Any colour available as per website

Now the project is complete.
The prices are:
1 set: 350euros/each wheel; 1400e per set
2 set: 330euros/each wheel; 1320e per set
3 set: 300euros/each wheel; 1200e per set
4 set: 260euros/each wheel; 1040e per set
5 set: 200euros/each wheel; 800e per set (!!!)
Now we are 2 sure people from italy and 1 friend from germany (so total 3 people)
If we can be 5 or more the global discount is very very interesting
I do not know the shipping cost to uk or germany, but i will ask tomorrow.
The supplier and reseller is RAVASI CORSE TICINO CH (switzerland)
Let me know if you are interested by email or via PM or forum

The offer is very interesting for a group-buy
The production will start after 06 september
The wheel fit TT 8J (tt, tts, ttrs) and will be:
9Jx18" et 47 or 49
(larger than stock one but surely no problems with the body of the car)
here:
- project (with comparison with S.line 18" used like sample for fitment)
- my 6pot caliped (very tight with the S-line 18")
- Excalibur Rally with 9 spokes
