Default Cost of replacement rim 997RS Red best source?

Gent's,

I am weighing out the pros and cons of either of a respray of possibly 2 of my RS rims or simply replacement. The rims are straight with no damage. Just want to return them to perfect...

Yes, originals.

I have a tendency to agree with you. After a little research they aren't exactly inexpensive. I'm only gun shy because I have thrown money at wheel re-habs in the past with average results.

That said, I have access to a wonderful Porsche body shop locally.

Thx.

I have purchased stock wheels in the past with tires for $3500.00.
That is the most i will pay for good stock wheels FWIW

Respray it is. My service writer at Porsche of Mpls says they use a great mobile service to respray wheels on site out of work truck? Really? I guess we will find out. In regard to BBS wheels let's get the car back to perfect first before I make that call

Thanks! Those look so damn clean on your RS...

I know the power of the BBS forged race wheel! The MTSP's right? The cool kids say you want the red label BBS stickered ones. I almost bought a set for my 991 GT3 when I wanted it to look like a fake cup car
