Is that with the tires? Are these actual Porsche wheels? Please provide the source.

What do you think of the 996 5-spokes? Did you look into those? Price? Source?

Thanks

Greg - I found these on eBay - supplier out of Naples, FL. I bought these with the tires, installed, balanced. They were take-offs from a 2005 997.

I like the 996 wheels, the offsets are not high enough. My 79 is very low, does not show in the pictures because my front end was not fully settled yet. Anything lower will hit my fender when turning.

Wheels / tires were just over $1,400 - shipping was $250
