Could not tell from the photos, that they were replicas.
My choice for best looking wheels on a 986 would be, ...

19": ORIGINAL PORSCHE CARRERA SPORT 987 WHEELS
18": ORIGINAL Fuchsfelge WHEELS (own them --> "Summer")
17": ORIGINAL PORSCHE BOXSTER WHEELS (own them --> "Winter")

17": ORIGINAL PORSCHE BOXSTER WHEELS (own them right now)

18": ORIGINAL Fuchsfelge WHEELS (in my case with silver spokes), they look perfect on a 986 (will get them as soon as the manufacturer releases an official declaration on which tyres and spacers to use, estimated in march/april) --> i prefer the old school look rather than a modernized look
gonna look like this (see "Seal Grey thread")...can't wait :dance:
