Wheel Replacement Issues
I hit a pothole in my 2014 Carrera S and destroyed one of my front wheels. Trying to replace it has proven far more difficult than I would have imagined. Hoping to get some help from the forum as I'm a little overwhelmed at the amount of info out there. Heres an album with my wheel as well as all the numbers on the abck of the wheel. https://imgur.com/a/PsOWv5k
After this happened I had the dealer try to order wheels. The put in my VIN and apparently my car came with silver wheels rather than these gloss black ones. They went ahead and ordered a gloss black wheel but when it arrived it had a silver rim around it, so thats clearly not my wheel. They ordered the other "black" option, which showed up and was matte black. We've gone through every option in the computer and none of them appear to be these fully black gloos wheels. Can anyone shed some light on this? I've found what I think is my wheel, but its only available as a package deal on ebay with all four wheels. There are clearly lots of options, so I'm scared to order, have it be wrong, and theres no returns so I just wasted $3k.
Does anyone have any idea how I might find this wheel? Or does anyone know for a fact that this isn't a factory option and maybe the previous owner bought these or had his silver wheels powder coated? The ebay wheels mention wide body, but I'm not sure if my car is wide body or not.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Were those painted by a prior owner?

I need to get a wheel first I guess. haha. I guess I could buy the silver one and hope someone can get an exact match... I've never done anything like this and it really seems like it'll be hard to match?? I'll call around tomorrow.
I called two different wheel repair shops. Both said no way.

I have no idea.... If they aren't a factory option then I guess they'd have to be. Thats really what I'm trying to figure out.

Your wheel looks like a 911S 20" wheel in gloss black. I have them on my 2017 911.
Here is an Ebay listing for the wheel. https://www.ebay.com/i/123336160615?chn=ps

Anyone know which models are wide body vs narrow body?
Also does anyone know where to find info on the factory wheels regarding their sizes and offsets? I just want to make sure these new ones match before ordering.

Huge thank you! I just ripped off a rear wheel and your listing has the correct part numbers for my wheels. The other ebay listings I almost ordered were the incorrect rear wheels.

If you have a 2014 Carrera S it is not a wide body.
