I wish people wouldn't comment on the replica wheels unless they have had them or know someone that has.........

On my 99' I had Italian made replica Carrera Lightweights. The rear driver wheel was dragged along a side wall when I crashed it,all that happened was it was scratched and slightly bent. It didn't shatter,it didn't fall apart or crack.

My Dad has replica Carrera Classic on his 996,no problems to date and balanced perfectly to spec.

I have replica Sport Technos on my 986 S. No problems to date.

By the way,each time we ditched OEM ones for replicas. Would we prefer OEM ones,sure but I'm not forking over $4k for new wheels anytime soon too many other mods to do.

Ask around on the forum everyone that has had them here likes them.
