Default Best place to get brand new Porsche wheels?

I'm looking to buy a brand new set of Porsche wheels and some other interior parts.

Some of the dealers in my area have a 10% discount from list price.

Do you know of any Porsche dealer, parts distributor or 3rd party, where I can order Porsche original parts at a better price?.

I heard there was a place on the web where you could get 25% from list on Porsche original parts.

Thanks...

What wheels are you looking for? I have 2 sets of solid spoke turbo twists from my C4S that I'm looking to let go. 1 set is 11" rears for summer, and the other is 10" rears with snows. Both have 8" fronts.

www.wheelenhancement.com

I'm not affiliated with them, but I went and visited them and they're awesome - they gave me some quotes on new rims that are lower than most other places. They are also super cool and professional and you'll see a ton of positive endorsements for them on multiple posts here.

Routinely on eBay several Porsche dealers list "take-offs" that have basically ZERO miles on them and are VERY VERY VERY cheap compared to list price. That is how I picked up my second set of wheels.

I got a set of 02 Lightweights with brand new tires for $2K from Suncoast on eBay.

These are the parts I'm looking for:

(1) 000-044-500-09 (5mm spacers with lug bolts).
(2) 997-362-160-50 (Carrera Sport, 19" x 10" ET 42 987 Boxster/Cayman rear wheels).
(2) 997-362-162-55 (Carrera Sport, 19" x 11.5" ET 57 997 Carrera rear wheels).

I bought a set of wheels from wheelenhancement.com before for my Boxster.

I'm going to contact each source named here. Hopefully with good news.

Thanks...
