Has anyone purchased a set of these wheels from ebay? Any thoughts on this product?

Do you guys know how to tell between replica and OEM?

I too want turbo replica wheels (18" Porsche 997 Turbo Sty Wheels Boxster S Cayman 993 : eBay Motors (item 310205487687 end time Apr-07-10 11:06:00 PDT))

I bought a set and the rear offset was way off. These say they're et46 on the rear - how do I know they'll fit??

Cost :hilarious:

I would imagine that on a replica wheel, they would not be allowed to put the Porsche part number on the rim. OEM rims will all have the P-part number stamped on the inside of the rim somewhere.

How long have you had them? Any balance/stability issues? Any peeling of the clear? Did you have on OEM wheels before the change?

How much do these wheels weigh compared to OEM wheels? Unsprung weight sucks.

They weigh a few more pounds each. The line of thought that a few pounds of aluminum will matter in street application also sucks.

I respectfully disagree. I am reminded every day I drive my car how four pounds less per corner makes my car feel just a little more nimble.

If you want the look, then go for it. Get some inexpensive tires to go with them to complete that good deal. Then go buy a set of serious track rubber for your stockers when you have some extra money.

Does anyone even know who actually makes the wheels?
