Wheels on eBay
I just saw these wheels on ebay.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-Po...QQcmdZViewItem
That link is pretty long, they are also Item number: 320136693807
No affiliation, I just thought they looked cool, and might be a good price.

There is one little rule I have....
Buy wheels from a known manufacturer that has a proven track record. What evolves out of this?
1. If something goes wrong, there is a good chance that the seller will make it right. I am not saying the seller of these e-Bay wheels will do otherwise; I just don't know them like I know Kinesis, BBS, Fikse, Forgeline, OEM Porsche etc., etc.
2. In the future, should I decide to sell a set of wheels from Kinesis, BBS, Fikse, Forgeline, OEM Porsche, etc., etc., I won't have to take a heavy grinding. I had a set of Millia Miglia wheels once, reputable company, I practically had to give them away. However whenever I have sold OEM Porsche Cup Wheels, technology wheels, MY 2002 996 wheels, I have received a fair price and have not been subjected to the big grind.
Nevertheless, we appreciate the tip.
Just my observation...and of course, all IMHO.

These wheels have been discussed many times before. (If you become a Rennlist member you could perform a search.)
Arena993 has used the multi-spokes from the same company on Blackhorse and Ol'yeller.
I had considered the GTR-look ones until I called the 800 # and was treated very rudely and found that the seller kept adding on costs.

Hmmmmm that was not my experience....very good customer service person answered all my question......and at $600 new I have no problems throwing them away when I am finished with them.....as stated in an earlier post, they have now covered 15,000 miles with NO issues and lots of very nice comments on looks......the only drawback, they are heavier than standard wheels so that means no good for track but around our pot-holed Maryland roads they work great and are still very true.
