Ernie quoted me $2895 plus $100 for s/h for Carrera lights to fit a boxster today. He quoted hand-painted center caps for $175 if I bought the wheels and tires.

This price included good tires (Pirelli or Bridgestones I think) as well. I am torn between factory wheels and these aftermarket ones. They probably look identical. The weight may be the only difference.

Oh BTW, the Ebay aftermarket wheels in my previous post above weigh in at 24 and 25 pounds front and back, respectively. At least that's what I think I remember him emailing me (I'm not on my laptop so I don't know for sure).

Anyone know the weight of the factory wheels?

... and I just installed my clear side markers and they're sweet! Took a whole five minutes to pop them out and the new ones in.

Porsche Carreras are 20 pounds F and 21 rear.
I would go with factory. You can resell them much easier than the aftermarket.
Just put your old wheels back on when you sell the car.
You can probably do better in terms of tire price. I'd get just the wheels from
him and check bobwoodman tires or tirerack.
Painted Centercaps are way overpriced. A good DIY project.
