I might, please PM me with an offer. Mine are silver in excellent condition with about 2300 miles on them. They are definetely straight and true without any curb rash. Only blemishes are a few small rock chips.

I checked with Wheel Enhancement about a set of GT3 wheels using my new 997 TT wheels as a trade. Their response was as follows:
"a set of new 8.5x19" and 12x19" Porsche Factory 997 GT3 RS wheels is $6,268.00, plus shipping. Your set of 8.5x19" and 11x19" Porsche Factory 997 Turbo wheels is worth $700.00 in trade"
I wonder what they would then charge someone for the new TT wheels that they gave $700 for? I think I will pass.

Totally agree. If that is true, then they lost my business. However, it could be because of the demand for the GT3 wheels vs. the turbo wheels. Me personally, I do not like the new turbo wheels one bit. As for the GT3 wheels, I think they look pretty darn nice, but it would be nice if they were forged and lighter.
RG5's are probably my favorite aftermarket wheel.

I've dealt with WE and was nothing but pleased with their service and there prices, while not a bargain, they were pretty much in line with every other major shop.
The 6k figure looks like for brand new GT3 wheels. You should ask if they have used wheels and what the price would be.
I doubt there is much demand for the 997 Turbo wheels, so lower price...

WE recently quoted me $12K for a new set of Gt3 rims...that crazy Euro-driven price increase. They may have come down again.
The issue with turbo rims is that they are not well received - there are a lot of takeoffs for sale. Also they won't fit the narrowbody cars. Wish Champion or HRE would get on the ball.
