Looking for a used set or replicas w/o tires since I already have new Toyos. The ones on ebay are usually new w/tires and start at about $3200.00 opening bid. On a few rare occasions I have seen a used set of the 996 wheels go for about $1200....unfornuately I was not ready to get them at the time.
More options please!

custom air intakes below the Cali pop-out 1/4 windows
streetworks wire harness kit/with fuse box

To be added:
Carbon fiber look vinyl headliner with the same in the panels with

I have found my wheels as well as several other late style factory Porsche wheels:

List price for most of these wheels from the dealer is 3-4 times what they are asking....I'm wondering if the pricing is correct or if all these wheels are cheap knockoffs. Is anyone local to these folks where you look at their product?
