Introducing the Innsbruck Rotary Forged Wheel: Victor Equipment Rises to the Compatibility Challenge with Custom Porsche Wheels Engineered for Each Porsche Vehicle
Huntington Beach, CA (PRWEB) July 22, 2013 -- Victor Equipment makes just one thing: High performance Porsche aftermarket wheels engineered specifically for precise compatibility with the wide range of Porsche vehicles, from the Boxster sports coupe to the full-size Cayenne SUV. That tight focus on developing Porsche Wheels and only wheels for Porsche has enabled Victor engineers to focus exclusively on meeting the complex, unique requirements of compatibility with each Porsche model.
“It is extremely difficult to make wheels for Porsche vehicles because they have several unique attributes not found on other makes,” pointed out Terence Scheckter, president and founder of Victor Equipment. “For example, Porsche vehicles have a combination of very large brakes and high offsets. These offsets must be rigidly adhered to so that there is adequate room for the brakes while also positioning the wheel properly within the wheel well,” Scheckter added. He also pointed out that Porsches have a very wide bolt pattern found on no other vehicles that require Porsche-compatible wheels be designed from the start with Porsche engineering in mind.
Porsche idiosyncrasies continue within the model lineup. For example, while Porsche vehicles commonly have a staggered fitment—meaning the rear axle carries wheels wider that the front axle—the Porsche/Carrera family has different requirements in this regard than Porsche Boxster wheels or Porsche Cayman wheels. Victor equipment supports the wide range of wheels sizes and combinations the manufacturer specs for its various models. Wheel diameters of 18”, 19” and 20” are available for all Porsche's, plus 20” wheels designed specifically for the sporty four-seat sedan, the Panamera, and 22” Porsche Cayenne wheels. All Victor Equipment wheels for Porsche allow for use of the factory-supplied lug bolts as well as accommodating the option of using the original equipment Porsche Crest center caps. The Porsche tire-pressure monitoring system is fully supported as well.
