RE-MTSP’s were high on my list, but still wanted factory wheels so I ended up purchasing brand new factory wheels. I think this set for sale will serve someone well, but my obsessiveness doesn’t go well with previous repairs on a wheel. For instance, I have never patched a tire, only replaced, even though I know patching is perfectly safe.

Although the pic of silver E88’s I saw a month or so ago on a white .1 GT3 were amazing looking, I can’t help but like the GT3 with its factory look, specifically as it ages.

That's taking it to another level. I too had repaired wheels on my first 997 and immediately removed them for a set of E88's.

What color you going with? Silver or black?

Silver. Ordered them through my dealer and just got fresh tires. Ceramic coated and had them put on my car last week. Very happy. I go to the extreme with these things.

From what I can tell, black wheels are not available direct from Porsche. My guess is that they were available in period because they'd paint them as needed. Now, silver only is available and then if you wanted the black design, you'd need to have that done after.

Were they super expensive? I go back and forth, e88’s (currently waiting on order with bbs), or keep my stock wheels, but a newer set and keep the old ones as back up

my local dealer has an online parts site, but has more competitive pricing than most others. I paid a little over $8k+ tax. Personally I’m a big fan of OEM parts and the factory look. Granted, BBS is a supplier so you could consider them OEM, but as these cars get older I appreciate more and more the stock factory look. I have so many posters and scale models of the .1 GT3 and now my car mirrors the look.

If you get interested in my set or want me to send you links to the genuine Porsche wheels, feel free to send me a PM.

Same, I appreciate more of a factory look. The .1 wheels look so good when I walk out to my garage to take a peek to see how my baby is doing.

Thank you! I’ll definitely keep you in mind, as I considered your set.

So you weren’t aware they were repaired until the painter told you? Man, in retrospect should have told the painter up front that if you find out they were repaired I don’t even want to know about it

I was thinking about listing a couple weeks ago, but since I didn't know when I was going to get the new set, I wanted to wait to do a proper writeup with photos. But if still available and you're interested, definitely reach out.

Haha! I'm one of those people that is asking a lot of questions upon pickup. Initially he didn't even mention it, but after I started asking a bunch of questions and wanting detail about the work he did, he mentioned it.
I'm glad I find out though. It gave me an excuse to buy new. Someone will be getting a very nice set of wheels with very fresh tires for 1/3 of what it would cost new.

Haha! Totally understand that. Part of my justification for going OEM besides really liking the look is the ability to sell my stock set.
