997 winter wheels/tires...where to buy? TPMS?
I am shopping around for a winter set up for my 06 997 C2S. Looking to match OEM winter spec with 18" rims/tires. I've spoken to Tire Rack, Wheel Enhancement, and Modular wheels. Any additional suggestions on reliable suppliers of aftermarket rims bundled (or not) with OEM spec tires would be appreciated.
On a separate but related note, TireRack says because I need to purchase the TPMS sensors from Porsche they (TR) cannot ship tires mounted on wheels as the dealer needs to install tpms sensors first and then mount tires on rims. Is Porsche the only source for tpms sensors and does the P dealer need to install, etc? Thanks in advance.

Frino: if you ship the TPMS sensors to TireRack, I'm sure that they will install them... did they veto this option? I'd be surprised.
Also, TR has the Hunter Road Force balancing system. They did a spectacular job on my BMW installation.
Good luck!
