they won't sell for 400, unless they are in bad shape... normal price of OEM wheels is between 700 and 1100....

ok just got a email back from wheelenhancement and they said the factory ones are 2800 and the after marked are 1000. How could you tell the diff between the factory and aftermarket and would they look the same?

they'll look the same minus the 964 part #on the knockoffs

Aftermarket wheels are significantly heavier than OEM. To make matters worse, despite the added weight, they are actually more prone to bending. Ask me how I know. Potholes suck.

1) wheelenhancement it grossly overpriced for most items (the do have good product, knowledgable people, and pretty good inventory)

2) for 2800 dollars you could have a lot nicer set of wheels than C2s. Think Fikse, Kinesis, Champion, etc

3) the factory version have Porsche P/N

Put 'em on a scale, the aftermarket ones weigh a ton and are not as strong.
