Default Where to look for 993RS wheels

Having had my 993 for almost a year, the urge to upgrade has taken hold. I've already ordered the non-airbag 993RS steering wheel and am wondering where to start the hunt for a set of those amazing speedline 993RS wheels. I know there are a few people here with them and they look stunning! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanx, Tim.

That's kind of the answer i was expecting. Are they available in Europe or are they simply no longer attainable? That makes me want them even more!

They are not available any where regularly. When they do come on the market prices are really scary ~$5-7K. Even parts are getting hard to come by.

The last time I looked (over a year ago) they were still available from Porsche but were kinda expensive. The cheapest I was able to find them for was (front - 993-362-136-81) $952.23/each and (rear - 993-362-140-81) $1079.17/each. If they are still available (the part numbers are still in the January 2007 pricelist so there is a chance) the price has certainly increased.

I have a set of Speedline Aliseo 993 type wheels available. Currently have two sets in progress for refinishing. Might be perfect time for you if you are interested. I have (2) 8 x 18 with ET 45, (2) 9 x 18 ET 50, and the rears are 10 x 18 ET 56, or a yet to be built 10 x 18 or 11 x 18 depending on which rim halves I use and the intended car for them to fit.
If you do not know what they look like email me your address and I can send pictures. Jim

Tim,

I know of one set avail in EU.

No moeny for me. I will steer you there if you want. The Aliseo are not really like the RS... close but no cigar. If you want the "speedline for PORSCHE" logo... then $$.

Good luck

Kinesis Supercups are similar. They pop up from time to time.

$4k new from Porsche is not much different than what hollow spokes would cost you... surprised to read that they are still available and the price...
