On the surface it does seem a bit ridiculous, but what did that RM Sotheby's GT2 sell for £1.8M or something daft. So it only equates to around 1.5% of the total car value. I'm sure in general terms most wheels for cars are worth more than 1.5%. Take a 997.1GT3 as an example:
Around £70K and a set of GT3 wheels go for around 2-2.5K which is more like 3-4% of the total car value.

Caveat
If these wheels are an off the shelf buy then ignore the above. I was purely thinking that the only genuine 993GT2 wheels will be those fitted to car plus the odd set??

Doesn't seem unreasonable if they're NLA. Probably a degree of kite flying on the part of the vendor, but as Rich says, if you've got a 993 GT2 that's on BBS wheels and you want a set of OE mag Speedlines, your options are probably limited.

The same now applies to 964 RS mag wheels, the rears have been NLA for at least 6 years now, hence when sets come to the market, they're not cheap :

Of course you can most likely buy either set of wheels new from Freisinger, but the open wallet surgery WILL be painful .....

When I was looking for original 11 & 9 X 15 Fuchs for my 2.8 RSR five years ago they were crazy money for what were nearly 40 year old wheels. Most of which had been bent, cracked and welded.

Blimey it doesn't seem that long ago I sold my refurbed set for £1500! I thought I'd done bloody well out the deal too!
