18 inch wheels
So in my search for wheels, I'm finding on Ebay, many sets of those "lite" or "Carerra Lite OEM" sets for about $1000.
Does this seem reasonable?

Never mind. Found a great deal from a Rennlist member and bought them.

Can't wait to get them on. Cheap tires but virtually new so I'll finish this season on them. Quite happy thus far!

IMHO, those are the best looking wheels going. The 2004 SE two tone ones are even better!

Beautiful!
I'm anxious to see what they look like on your car.

Hopefully the colored crest caps off my turbo twists will fit. In other news, I'm definitely going to have to paint my pinkish calipers now. Maybe I'll run them until hibernation time.

I have the aftermarket ones from eBay... they're HEAVY. Lite my arse!
They're also not forged like genuine Porsche wheels and you need to avoid using them on a track or for autocross.

Are these knock offs or genuine carrera Lites that you bought? We can tell if you post a picture of the read wheel.

Need to? I think not! We need to have what we like, and I like my Carrera Lites  !
Also, I bet mine are easier to clean :dance:!
