I've tried "cheap," aftermarket replica wheels in the past, and I wouldn't do it again. They are heavier, not as strong, and not finished to the same level as factory wheels. Factory Porsche wheels are very good, and unless you're going with something from RUF, BBS, Fikse, or equivalent, I would stick with factory. If it's for track days, look for a set of straight and true used factory wheels- they don't have to be cosmetically perfect, obviously.

All I saw were Italian replica wheels, maybe I missed something? At the recent Hershey swap meet I visited the Wheel Collision Center booth. For the east coast guys they are located in Bath PA which is next to Allentown. Check out their site for repair and decent prices on OEM wheels.

I believe you they have wheels for all cars and I am considering them for some cosmetic repair on my 17" rims.
