I am also interested in the same set of wheels ... I was reading up on the link you put up. Are you sure they will fit your 987? I am wondering if they will fit my 986 also? Please forgive my ignorance if I should know this already.

Product Information

All of our aftermarket wheels are of excellent quality and are comparable to OEM wheels in every aspect except cost.

This is a set of four(4) 18" wheels in silver finish.

Fits 993, 996, 968, 928, and 944 from '87 on

Add $20 for 18x10 et 47mm front offset

I paid $1100 for factory Carreras back in 2005. Man that U.S. Peso sucks...
These replicas used to be $800.
Kinda hard to stomach paying more than $300 a wheel for a cast alloy. Those things will dent like a pepsi can if the pot hole is big enough.
This is one of the times that buying an American made forged wheel is probably more expensive but a far better value. Forged = bulletproof.

Heres a link to wheel enhancement for the OEM. They come in multiple widths and were the 2002 996 wheel. They do not list the et you need for the 986, but I'm sure Pcars would carry the et for the most popular possible sales.
