Check out FVD I don't know what the cost for a complete rim will be because you will have to "construct" it your self by selecting outer ring, ring, bowl, nuts and bolts etc.

Time to use the calculator.......

The few times I've seen genuine Speedline for Porsche wheels, they've been around $3500-$4000.
Not cheap, but one of the most beautiful wheels for a 964 IMHO.

I'm assuming that the ones from wheelenhancement are not replicas (RH) but genuine Speedline for Porsche and stamped/marked accordingly?

Things to keep in mind: they are hellishly heavy, they will oxidize around the bolts if not cleaned regularly, and heaven forbid you polish them, for they will lose their scripts and a good part of their value.
I would go with BBS 3 piece. And yes I have had and restored Speedline for Porsche wheels.
