That's correct, they are 18x8 and 18x10 unless you get the Boxster wheels.

I'd expect to spend close to $2k cdn for a perfect set with newish tires in Vancouver.

Ernies Alloys will ship them, they are resonable. I just picked up a set that was new with painted center caps and new Conti IIs shipped for $3,000. The price was a little high but I wanted them bad so I did a poor job negotiating. He sells a lot on Ebay and was recomended by other PCA members. I got the wheels in 3 days and everything went perfect.

They always have nice wheels, but their prices are insane! I believe I could buy a set of great condition wheels and nearly new tires for sub $1800usd if I looked around.

PS jsaindc you should probably correct your sig, unless you have a special edition "Carrara" that the rest of us dont have

Actualy I went through this on another post. I had it as Carrera White and I was wrong. Yes the model is a Carrera like everyone elses but the color is Carrara White. Maybe I should just leave it as white as I am going to get crap either way.

The "Carrara" refers to Carrara White, as in the the name of the color, not the model of the car.

I would leave it if I were you. If nothing else, it will be "educational" for others.

Check eBay - they seem to come up often and shipping from the US is usually not expensive.

You will find they go for $1500+ a set. There is a set of aftermarket knockoffs that run about $750 a set.
