Get it from the dealer. The package comes with the bracket and the bolts for the install.
Cost around 60 bucks if I remember correctly.

Check your VIN #. Porsche doesn't approve 18" wheels on cars with a Vin # below 99 7 SS 323614. The Technical bulleten that describes this is TB#9604, released 2/27/96, Titles Support bracket needed for 95 coupes for 18" wheel retrofit.

I don't think they approve 19inch on e36 M3 but what are the side effects of using 18inch wheels on '95 carrera without the bracket? I have a set of 18inch kinesis supercup on my car and am wondering if I can break something without the bracket. I've had aftermarket wheels on all my previous car and never had to put any bracket.
