Mariani Motorsport Wheels
I now have my own Anodized wheels that are NOT MADE in China or in any way related to China. Call me whatever you want but I don't want to sell product made in China anymore.
To see more of my wheel making: @the_r_institute or my high tech flow formed wheels for Porsche @mariani_motorsport1 Porsche GT4 wheels are flow formed. I will have 15s, 16s , 17s and 18s (soon) in the wanted sizes and offsets. Only the two finishes shown will be available. These are beautiful, finely crafted, light and strong wheels. For inquiry PLEASE use my email!! Messaging here is difficult. Marianimotorsport@gmail.com The anodized finish process alone takes a month but they are priced right and VERY nice. The prices are only slightly higher than the Maxilite wheel. I will be running them on my turbo S-T. I'm going 7&9x15 ET 23 and ET 15. ![]() Last edited by Fixer; 05-16-2020 at 07:24 AM.. |

nice job I like the 15"s. can I ask which tires you use on those sizes? I'm considering getting a set in that size but tire selection is causing me hesitation.

Subbed for future reference.Might be interested in 17s for my 914-6 (conversion) as it transitions from the track back to the street.

Thanks, Matt. It might be sooner than later. I have lots of track trash (wheels, extra carbs, etc) to move to people here in San Diego. Once done, I just might move to 17s. I'll let you know!
Spent 8 months at the Philly shipyard in an overhaul in the early 80s. Remember it well!

Thank you Bob!
The manufacturing of the wheel itself is a 2 step flow forming process not simply a casting and as stated these wheels are NOT manufactured in China. Nothing is from China. Unfortunately right now due to covid 19 we will likely not have product for weeks, some of my wheels like my 7&9 × 15s are delayed until September. ![]() |

Cool project. I applaud anyone who continues to develop solutions for these "old cars." It certainly isn't the largest addressable market and always has some level of passion project as a result.
Out of curiosity, what temperature is the powdercoat cured at?

Yeah, screw the CCP. My company was buying prefab steel homes from China but I've now decided to start working with metal factories in Idaho to come up with an alternative source. Beside I'm pretty sure import tariff will go up again on goods from China.
My phone is made in Korea so no issue there, but wait... I look down and everything I'm wearing is from China and I can't afford anything made in Italy, so I guess I'll go around naked from now on.
