anyone know of a good place to pick up used oem 19 inch wheels? i've checked wheel enhancement(had some but not my 1st choice), ebay, for sale sections of multiple forums, contacted suncoast and both local dealers.

anywhere i'm overlooking? figure i'd ask in case i'm missing something obvious....

specifically looking for(in order of preference):
carrera classic
carrera sportdesign
carrera S 2
carrera S 1

Did you look at Wheel Dynamics?
Porsche Wheels Your Fitment Specialist

Not sure if they sell both OEM and replicas, or just replicas.

Anyone have any leads on a set of Carrera Classics for the cayman? the fronts are the same size/offset as the 997 but the rears are different...

Right places. But you also need patience.

I am assuming that you already checked the CLASSIFIEDS section here??

If you're patient, you'll find OEM take-offs on ebay fairly regularly. Wheel Dynamics are all replicas - good quality from what I've heard, but heavier than OEM.

How about your local craigslist?

That's where I found mine.

notquitefob · #10 06-15-2009, 09:33 AM

yup, definitely checked the classified section here, other forums, ebay and craigslist.

Called Wheel Dynamics: they're only OEM set are 18 inch loaners.

Also called LA Porsche Dismantler, they had a set of Classics, but are chrome.

thanks, but I just picked up a set of new Carrera Classics w/ new tires from Tischer for 3k shipped.

Carrera Sports are highly sought after, you should put it up in the for sale section. thanks again for everyone's advice.

We are a new sponsor to the site but have been around the Porsche community for years.

We are having the site currently worked on which will have several new sections one which will include a "used" or "take-off" section for some of our customers who are looking to sell their stock and factory wheels. I would say that the section will be up by late Aug 2009.

Most of our replica wheels are manufactured in Italy, some which might weigh a little more and some which are exactly the weight of the OEM original wheels. We have been supplied with wheels from the same manufactures for almost ten years now so the quality of the wheels is by far proven.

Thanks again for your suggestions and referals, we are listening.

Glad to see you here as a sponsor. I bought a set of 19" takeoffs from you on ebay. One of the wheels was bent (couldn't tell from looking at them), the credit for the $100 repair was immediate.
The mark of a good company is how they come through when there is a problem. Wheel Dynamics came through with flying colors.
