Hi, does anyone know where I can buy a set of replica Mk II GT3 alloy wheels from at all?? I would like a set for my 996 C4S but can't find any with an 11" rear, only 10".

Or.......does anyone know of a set for sale?

I don't use my car that much, so don't see the merit in spending nearly £2k for a genuine set.

^ The OP wants replicas though, and in wide body fitment. He could get the right ones for his car (8 and 11 with 45 offset rears) off of eBay for a little over 2 grand, which I suspect is the basis for the £2k comment. One of the independent parts suppliers (may have been Design911, but they certainly don't appear to list them any more) used to sell copies of the design for something daft like £600/set but those seem to have dried up now - even on eBay.

For your dilemma there is a genuine OE front on the bay at the moment, but it is an RS one (so red - you would have to refurb to match your other wheels if this is for the silver set in your profile pic) and they want £700 for it...

http://www.alloywheelsdirect.net will sell you a single genuine OE front brand new, but for £1343.

Looking at all of this makes me wonder if I should auction the set from my last GT3 that I have in my garage...

Hi sorry to bump this up, did Porsche make genuine wide wheels in this style for c4 and turbo?

I have the chance to buy a cheap c4s with a set of mkii gt3 wheels, how do i tell if these are replicas?

Yes - they did make the style in Turbo/C4S wide bodied fitment. If you took the wheels off the Porsche part number should be embossed into the back of one of the spokes.

Give Image Wheels a call http://www.imagewheels.co.uk/

They can make copies of most wheels and at prices that are very reasonable.
