Default Looking for photos of RH 3.6 Replica wheels

I'm thinking about upgrading to 18" 3.6 Turbo wheels. The price for the Speedline wheels is crazy (if you can even find them!) so I'm considering RH Replicas. Anyone have photos of the RH 3.6 Replica wheels mounted on 965?
Please post photos.
Are there any other exact replicas other than RH? Thanks.

The three piece RH wheel is as close as you will get to the real thing.

Jeffrey - Those are the RH? I guess it's good when you can't tell real from replica. Thats why I wanted to see photos of cars that are definitly RH because I can't tell which are which.
Thank you for posting the pic.

Do you have any other info on these wheels or a website URL. I searched but found nothing.
Are they more or less expensive then the RH?
Thanks.

How much $$$ do the RH replica's sell for? The original 18" Speedlines are still available from your local Porsche dealership, there are a few that will even sell them for around $900/front, $1000/rear. (expensive but I have no idea what the replica's are selling for)

Jeff,
Go to kinesis motorsport.com ( unable to post a link ) & click on the forged wheels and compare the wheels in the picture.The top row of the wheels would say 17",18",& 19" and then look at the one that says " reversed drop center ".The difference is,the normal wheels have a slight hump between the spokes and the lip where as in the reversed style the spokes go all the way to the lip thus making the wheel looking kinda bigger.
I currently have Kinesis K-58's on my Supra with regular lip and i was pretty much dead set on getting one of these reversed lips ( more dolla though ) for the porsche but i think they would not look good on a wide body C2 but thats just me.

Jason:

Which dealers are selling for those prices. $3800 is a good deal for Speedlines and starts to compete with the RH Replicas.

Maybe we could do a group buy on Speedlines!

Yasir - thanks for the info. Now I see.

Sameer - yes, it is a DAS roll bar

When I was looking for wheels I was given the following pricing, I'm still kicking myself for not having bought some last spring just before the 50-100% across the board price increase instituted by PCNA.

965-362-136-01 1206.15
