OEM Wheel Questions
Hey All,
I'm fairly new to the Porsche community.
I recently purchased a 2004 Arctic Silver Turbo Cab that I believe has a tune on it because the BAR goes up to 1.0.
Anyway It has some 19" wheels on it and I want to get the OEM Turbo twists and I come across sellers selling them saying OEM but they are made in Poland.
Is that really OEM I thought they were all made by BBS in Germany.
This is just a fun car for me, not tracking it so the 18's are a little more appealing so I can put some Michelins on it for more of a comfortable ride.
I've seen them all over price wise from $1000 - 3000 for a used set.
Where is the best place to find these wheels and what should I expect to pay for a decent set?
Thanks

2004 model year - excellent choice (same as mine). If your interested in originality, then the Turbo Twist wheels for your 2004 will be part numbers 996 362 136 04 (front) and 996 362 142 11 (rear). The good news is that on genuine Porsche wheels, the part number is cast into the inner side of the wheel spokes so you can easily determine whether the wheels you're considering are the correct application for your car.
