The third and final issue to consider is the price. I'm betting a set of these rims are no less than $3500 at Sunset, the cheapest place in the US to buy OEM Porsche parts.

I have seen some nice aftermarket sets in ads in Excellence that look a lot like these rims. That may be a better way to go.
Thank you for all the info- The price isnt so much of a concern as the rest.. I just had the rear bearings replaced so that is something Im weary of...
Thanks again!
