Default Big Ovals for wide body

Hi guys,
A question from the UK please....

Can anyone make any suggestions for where I can buy some wide ovals for my 993 C2S? I know the fitment for the widebody cars is not the same as the n/b and they are crazy money over here!
My sister lives in NY and I'm often over there so I thought I might try and buy a pair in the USA if there's a saving to be made (not that the £/$ exchange rate is doing me any favours...!)

Any thoughts / costs / good places you can rec?
I see Darin Fister has some due out - but I'll be over there in a couple of weeks, and like all these things, my 993 OCD means I just cant' wait!!
Thanks for your input...a few photos of my new P&J to share...(I know the wheel's on the wrong side)

Gert Carnewal has the OEM ones (not cheap, but nice. I have them on my WB.) Otherwise aftermarket (like Brombacher, but I personally don't think they are as nice.)

He's in Belgium.

Not too sure what you class as expensive, some listed here though;

Thanks for the responses. Have to agree that on seeing the aftermarket tips - especially from type911 (thanks 911Pervy) the OEM ones do look nicer. It's the thickness of the rolled edge on the aftermarkets that turn me off them a bit....

Thanks for help.

Yes, you're right about that. And it's the main reason I bit the bullet and paid more for the OEMs.

I'd venture to say that you'd be much happier with the OEMs despite the cost. Plus they are very good quality and should last the life of your ownership.
