Don't know what these wheels cost new but the Sport Classics below are a $ 965 option on the new TT. T

Because that's only the delta between that wheel and the base wheel. A set of those wheels would cost way more than $965.

Those are The Wheels In Question, just not painted black. Black-painted Sport Classics are an extra-cost option.

if u have to have this style wheel dynamics is LA has this look-a-like at a value price... of course it is not the same quality wheel but it is an option if a facsimile of the modernized fuchs look is what matters

to my eye it is a pale imitation but some may find it acceptable

That's a Graphite Blue car with Carrera Sport wheels and black painted spokes. The picture above is my car with the standard platinum silver painted spokes. They're a $1365 option in platinum and a $3000 option in black. I'm biased, but I think the platinum spokes look better, especially for $1635 less.

I take that back. After looking at the photo again, they are not the same wheels as mine. Senior moment?

Nope. Not a senior moment. They look close, and your car looks fantastic !

The Sport Classic wheels that sparked this discussion are now ~$9600.00. Porsche would like you to pay for the new Rims, tires, and TPMS etc whether you need them or not. Making the argument that other wheel manufacturers are competitive ....... Moot.

Some (polar bear dude) believe that this is a competitive deal. Which it is, if somebody just stole all four wheels of your car and you need to replace eveything. The rest of us, just want to buy the rims.

They're now One BiLLLLION dollars.
You do just make this $h1+ up?
Seriously? $9600? When the link still shows a price that's $1800 less than that?

Don't stick words in my mouth. I didn't write that it was competitive with bare wheels, just that it isn't crazy once you've removed what's included with the wheels.

Obviously, if you roll without tires on your wheels then it doesn't make sense for you...

Benedict14

You seem upset. Allow me to do your research for you - Here's the link from Porsche that shows them at ~ $9600.00

Three months ago, they were on sale at Suncoast for $6800,00 at $20% off. I'll leave you to further investigate this fascinating price mystery. You justified the price in an earlier post - using the vigorous argument that the tyres, and TPMS etc. are included. Whilst very generous of Porsche, that's ridiculous.

I've obviously upset you. But you've missed the point. People buy rims, and then add them to their tires. They don't want to be scammed into buying it all.

dunno what the fuss, bellyaching and arguing is about

50th wheels are nice forged wheels (made by bbs iirc)... US$ 8 or 9 k for a set is standard fare of any nice light forged wheel, esp. in 20's

u want the good sh*t, you gotta be ready to pay... maybe you get lucky scouring used ads or boards everyday find some used ones cheaper but if you want them and want them know, u pay market price

in my memory buying porsche oem wheels has never been cheap and never been a bargain... nor is any top notch aftermarket forging bbs, hre, and so on

on the other hand there is a vibrant low/middle end wheel market for cast and spun-cast wheels - heavier but still good for road driving if you choose the right brands

we are lucky to have choices
