I also recommend http://www.wheeldynamics.net I just today received a set of Carrera Lightweights 18 inch with Michelin Pilot Sports mounted and balanced that I got from them. Carlos took care of me and was responsive and informative and sent tracking numbers before I ever even asked. I've already got them on my 2001. Looks awesome. Definitely recommend them

My people speak the truth... wheeldynamics.net served me well. $979 for the Carrera replicas, no spacers required. By the way, even the Porsche dealership was impressed with the look of them. That is, they were very surprised that they were replicas.



At that price, you can almost take your pick of any tires you want to stay under the $2k price point.

So you have a frame of reference, these are 19x8s and 19x9.5s with no spacers. The tires are 235s and 275s. I have no rubbing or problems. The 19s are slightly noisier than the 18s I replaced, but I don't notice any decrease in ride quality. I've read here on the board that handling isn't as good if you go bigger than 18s. I haven't noticed a difference in everyday driving, but we haven't really beat on the car yet. There's an autocross next Sunday at Ripkin Stadium, but, of course, I'm only going as a spectator

Good luck with your choice...

I have the 18" Carrera Light replicas from WheelDynamics, also. They look absolutely awesome! Carlos was great to work with - he even offered to pay my shipping since he had to charge me sales tax because I live in California. I would buy from him again in an instant!

these look nice on red. Although You can't beat $980 for Carrera replicas.
Yeah KRATZCO's HRE-look add about $20,000 to the look. Maybe too flashy
for this area. Forgot where you are from but getting snow tires on 19" can be an expensive project. I'm thinking of having two sets of wheels.
