Is that the wide body Carrea or narrow body fit? I know that many here have fitted the narrow body Carrera wheels to their boxsters with spacers. I have 997 Turbo replicas with a spacer kit (with longer bolts) from wheeldynamics -- paid about $200. I only run them during winter since I don't like to run performance tires for autocross/DE with spacers. Well at least that was the advice I was given by my mechanic who works on many track cars.
Either way, those factory Carrera wheels are expensive, so if you got a deal you can get some good money for them. I tried replacing just one recently and the cheapest I could find was $500 for a used one that still needed to be repainted (another $150). Even the Italian replicas are expensive now. They used to go for about $700 on Ebay and now go for around $1200. I guess many who buy a 996 Carrera or 986 Boxster want to upgrade from 17" wheels and the supply for this particular style is now very limited.
