Does anyone have any experience or opinions on the quality of these rims:

Good quality, but almost 10 lbs heaver than stock.

They're replicas. If they're from the same manufacturer as the other replicas on eBay, at worst they'll be 10 lbs more for all 4. And I would venture a wager that they're 2 lbs more each than factory 18s. (Which really doesn't matter unless you're serious about auto-xing.)

Thanks for the info. Is there another reputable place to buy replacement Porsche rims?

I bought replica Mercedes wheels on ebay from OEwheels. I'm extremely happy with them and their customer service. I got all 4 for $329 plus $85 shipping. They look exactly like the expensive stock wheels from Mercedes. Not sure if they have Porsche wheels also though.

The factory Carrera 5-spokes weigh 22lbs in the rear... the italian made replicas weigh over 30 each in the rear. Really doesn't mattter? you will feel a notice in that much unsprung weight.
