Default What are these wheels? I want em!

What are these wheels called and where could you buy them in the UK? I am in Ireland, but they would be crazy money here so will not even look! They look like 18 inch. I have a cobalt blue C4 just like in the photo, I think they look great... I currently have twists on mine:

They are also known as GT3 wheels and come in offsets suitable for Boxsters and the ubiquitous GT3

Yes I have a set, and I love them.

Hi Adrian. They are 18" sport design Replica's as others have said or"GT3 wheels " . I had to fit 3mm spacers on the rear to stop them rubbing. They were fitted to boxters IIRC thats why we can get them to fit 964's

I got them form here
http://www.performancewheelsupplies.ltd.uk/

I think design911.com and others like jasmine may also sell a version of them

Ride quality is ok as far as I am concerned, yes they tramline a little but it doesn't worry me. A tad stiffer than normal, but I really don't worry....passengers never complain about the ride.....so, it can't be that bad can it.
