Thinking of picking up a set of 997 Replica wheels for my 996 C4 any t

[Johnny-5]

I really like the look of the 997 GT wheels and currently have the 996 Turbo Twists and wanting a change on the car. I found a few places like ebay and other shops that sell a Set of 4 New 18 x 10 and 18 x 8 Gunmetal Porsche 911 GT Style Replica Wheels with Machined Face. My question is.....is it worth it? I believe my stock wheels are 18x9 and 18x11.

Any insight would be great.

Thanks,

I have a set of replica wheels that I use for my winter tires. There are many grades of replica wheel. There are many available that are made in Italy and are very high quality. They tend to be a little more expensive - generally $1,200 or more for a set of four. This is the option that I chose. There are also replicas that are made in China that generally run around $600 for a set of four. They are all over ebay. I've heard of several cases of these cheaper wheels being very easily damaged on potholes, curbs, etc. So... be careful. Remember - you get what you pay for.

Here are some 997 wheels I put on my C4S 2002. Click image to make it bigger and you can see them better.

They are 997 Turbo Wheels 19's. I went from 18's with the Turbo Look twist. I had to change the tire size to make everything stay the same went to 235/35/19 and 315/25/19

Got them from Wheel Dynamics www.wheeldynamics.net They were on special and paid $1200 for the set. I have had them over a year and love em. Just checked their site and they have them still for $1199 and a large selection of other wheels at great prices.
