Default Need a new 17x9 Cup 2 - can anybody help?

Replacing the tires on my 968 and found a small crack in the lip. These are the factory 17s available on 968s (993 part number) and are the rounded face wheel like in my avatar. If anybody can help me out, let me know. Sunset quoted $768.02 plus shipping.

Thank in advance for any help.

None available from WE. $950 new, if they were, and $650 used/refinished.

Does it have to be new? I am sure the porsche recyclers have some used cheaper than that. When a car crashes bad, it could wreck a couple wheels and create incomplete sets that they probably dont get rid of easily. 944ecology or partsheaven come to mind.

So far my best option may be Wheel collision center. No, doesn't have to be new, just a good one.

Sorry, I only have three. The other 17 x 9 was fubar in the wreck. There is a place in Calgary that repairs wheels but I don't know if they can do one this bad and then would anyone want to trust it at the speeds our cars can move? Last, I need the 7" until I find the three piece cups to match the rears. I'll give you first cralck when I'm ready if you're interested still. Hopefully soon.

I had a small crack repaired by a PCA member owned wheel shop here in MD. Looks like new.

Look on ebay. Lucky for you it was a 9 and not a 7.5. You can grab a whole set of 4 (7's and 9's) for less than what WE wants for one. Single 17x9 probably run you $200 maybe. I watch wheels on ebay like a hawk. Bought some like new 8.5x17 Boxster rims for $300 shipped the other week.

not me, don't know seller, just an example
