Replica Wheels

[jrthe1]

I'm in the market for a set of 4 18" 996 Carrera Lite alloy wheels. I would prefer Porsche OEM in as new condition but not having any luck. I've seen replica wheels made in Italy supposedly to Porsche specs. Anybody have any experience with these. Are replicas any good?

Got mines 2 weeks ago, they're very good. And saves you a lot $$$.

TUV certified? Don't think I'd track them.

I really don't focus on only one "missing certification" as others aftermarket wheels have "less certifications" than others and people still benerate them.

I mentioned TUV because it is pretty rigorous testing. Non-track cars that are not driven hard can survive on less quality. A reputable supplier probably would only sell a good product.

Personally I'd not buy from an unknown eBay seller for fear of getting Chinese-made disintegrators.
