I need to replace my RF and RR wheels, due to death by pothole.

I have replicas of the carrera 3 5-spoke, part # ALY67309U20N or 67311 for the rear. I can find the front, 18x8 67304 all day long, but have found only one source that actually can provide the rear, LA Wheel and Tire, but at $580 per wheel. I have checked about a dozen other places that advertise them and they all say "not in stock and don't know when they will."

Does anybody know of any retailers that actually have them in stock? Not looking for used or refurbished.

Why, according to documentation:

Introduced on 2002 996, optional on 2003 Boxster S

So, it seemed logical to ask in the 996 forum.

Brett I had one crack one its own last year. Couldn't find good used one for less then $500 then.
did you try www.wheelenhancement.com


I ended up getting one from Ernies Wheels in FL. He also bought my old one for $100. He has someone that repairs them for resale to folks that don't care.

Not uncommon:

I have these, which are listed as 2002 carrera 996 5-spoke by wheelenhancement.com. I guess I combined the 2 wheels into one. :-)

I tried wheel enhancement, they only had oem in stock and they were $$$$. Since these are replicas, i'm ok with replicas.

I have had one of these repaired before after another pothole incident and it never balanced out well, even had the shop redo their repair with the same result. The shop is highly thought of, so I don't think it was their workmanship.

My friend is selling one OEM 18"x10". I think he is asking $260 plus shipping.

New or used/reconditioned?

I have a front wheel I would sell also. I actually have two extras, but one's a little bent.

You are looking for the light weight MY02 wheels.

Came on 996 and optional on Boxter.

Note the offsets and widths are different.

What offset and width are you looking for?

Offset and width are by the filler value if you current wheels are OE.

This is the one my friend is selling.
