FinishLine Wheels

Does anyone have any experience working with finishlinewheels.com for wheels? They claim they are selling the OEM Carrera Classics and the pricing is excellent. When I do the math the wheels would be about $100 more than the replicas at Wheel Dynamics. Seems worth the extra $100 to get OEM.

Anyhow, just curious if anyone has worked with them.

FYI I was pricing out the Carrera Classics in 19" with 9.5 width in back and 8 width in front. Note that you have to look under 911 to find the front ones.

....by the way the $100 is in total, not per wheel.

Hi,

No experience with them, but the part number is stamped on the wheel for OEM. It would either be: 000.044.600.34 (996) or 000.044.600.55 (Boxster). Ask for a pic of the wheel showing the PN to be certain. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Sounds too good to be true. They'd corner the OEM market with prices like these, and I would wonder how they'd get in on such an inside deal ahead of anyone else in the world. I'm curious to learn what you find out.

I can't imagine those prices being accurate if they are truly new, OEM wheels. If they ARE accurate....
