Default Best source for OE wheels?

One of my rear wheels is badly 'out of round' and the other is not good. I would like to replace these with identical stock wheels as I like the style and weight. I really don't want to spend $3000+ for a complete set, just to get rid of a little bit of vibration. Anyone got any better options? People I have spoken to say the stock wheels should not be straightened and I worry about buying wheels that are as bent as mine from places like ebay. www.performanceproducts.com list 9.5*18 for our cars, but I would really like to replace the wheels with identical as possible. Wheelenhancements did not have anything to offer other than a complete set of 996TT wheels. ($$$)

Thanks for any help,

Andy Glaister.

I will be selling a set of stock 993TT hollow spoke turbo twists in a few weeks for considerably less than new price. Three wheels are in excellent condition with the fourth having a few small "nicks" on the spokes. Wheels are true. If interested send me a PM.

Watch Ebay. Sets of 996TT hollow spokes sometimes sell for under$1k. I believe 993 wheels are considerably less, especially if you are willing to accept some minor scratches.

I had to replace one of my original hollow spoke wheels. Got one replacement used wheel at Wheel Enhancement. They charged $550 for the one wheel.
