No comment on what to pay but Porsche wheels can bend very easily, make sure to check the road rash wheels. When I bought my 986 two wheels were bent and it took me a while to figure that out.

Good grief, I thought I was the only one! When I got my tires fitted they were not balanced right, but I still drove around with them for a day. I hit a pot hole no more than 2 inches deep, yes no more than two, but it slightly bent my wheel as the technician noted when he took my wheel off later that day. Because of that, I put +4 psi per tire extra in the front in hopes that will help mitigate any future damage.
