Default Looking for TT 997 wheels...

Anybody know of a place where i can pick a set of the TT 997 wheels? I tried Ebay but they don't seem to be OEM. Also does anybody know if these are forged or not?

Thanks,

John

Bear in mind that the 997.1 TT wheels and 997.2 TT wheels are different and they come in both narrowbody and widebody offsets. As you search, make sure you're looking at what you need for your car.

997.1 TT wheels are forged, not cast. I'm not sure about 997.2 TT wheels.

I would highly suspect that the non-OEM wheels are pressure castings, merely copies of the Fuchs forgings. You will have to check on the reverse of those wheels that you find and look for the Fuchs logo or the Porsche part logo. I would imagine the best way to be sure is through Wheel Enhancement.
