If you have any doubts to legitimacy I'd be leery. If you have any doubts to legitimacy AND it's on ebay, I wouldn't even waste my time looking. Trust your instincts.

Those are about standard prices for replica wheels.

No experience with those, but generally replica wheels are heavier and softer than the OE Porsche or high $ aftermarket wheels. So a replica will bend easier than a real one.

You get what you pay for.

I was following those guys for a while.

Got in trouble under their old eBay ID (don't recall it) for selling "Italian-made" wheels that were stamped "China." Multiple negative feedbacks on that issue. And don't overlook the $195 shipping cost.

I think highlinewheels4u was them. Now the feedback is "private" to cover those bad feedbacks.

OEM 4 Less is Highline wheels and the company they "buy" their wheels from is Modular Wheels which just so happens to be at the same address as OEM4less and Highline.

But I do like the wheels, I guess if they are at least as good as the Milles...they would be nice for the street, for looks only.

Saving my money for some CCWs. I'm looking for wheels for track use. Till then it'll be 928 S4 wheels on the 928 and the 944. 16" tires are getting more scarce but they'll have to do.

I'm considering a set of them. Prolly the top wheel pic above. I think they look great. Im not sure if they will fit my early car though.

Anyone have other suggestions to check out ?
