If you're going to get them, get it from the cheapest place...you know they all come from the same factory....oemwheels carry for hundreds cheaper

I agree, I remember seeing these on eBay awhile ago for under $800 but don't see them anymore.

If you are not after track performance, I'd say replica will serve the look purpose just fine.

+1000 you get what you pay for.
I know the 996 Carrera 5-spoke replicas that I put on my 996C4 were each several lbs lighter than the OEM solid turbo twists they replaced.
