Thanks for the feedback.

I don't know anything about this company but there was someone else out with Porsche replicas last year based in CA that was selling the classic 5 spoke light weight design for around $1k; these guys are selling them for at least a third lower. My guess is these are manufactured in China (what isn't) so the quality might not be up to OEM standards.
I'd still suggest looking on various sites for used Porsche OEM wheels; they are light strong and being used, they should be priced right.

Hey Mike, are you talking about this one? This is what I got from Wheels Dynamics and really happy about how much I paid for it.

Jeph had a set of those also. Those wheels look great on both the 986 and 987 models. About $900 IIRC?

I've owned and driven Porsches for nearly thirty years, both here and in Germany. The words inexpensive and Porsche can not be used in the same sentence. You either want it enough to pay for it, or you don't. There are beautiful Porsche wheels out there and some with great durability, but none of them are "inexpensive." If you want inexpensive get a Kia.
