Dealer recommendation to purchase GT3 RS wheels?

I know they can be purchased from any dealer, but has anyone gotten a good deal some where? Wheel Enhancement wants $6268 plus shipping for a set.

Try Porsche of Naples. I gut Turbo take offs at a great price from them. They seem to do a lot of aftermarket wheels and sell stock take offs.

That sounds like a price with tires, TPM sensors, etc. The wheels alone are about $4K. Carnewal - already suggested - is more than that once you convert the Euro's to dollars and then ship.

Have you tried Sunset Imports out of Beaverton, OR? Ask for Eric Svaren. They've got the best prices I've ever seen on Porsche parts. And I'm assuming that this is for the GT3 RS wheels if you're going to use this with the 997TT. The GT3 wheels have the wrong offset because it's a narrowbody model whereas the RS is a widebody like the 997TT.

I second Sunset Imports. I've worked with Jeff Clark there. They are a Porsche dealer and sell Porsche parts at dealer cost for residents outside Oregon and Washington, with a 15% handling charge plus shipping. Their prices for OR and WA residents are similarly low. Their customer service is also top notch.

Ditto with Jeff Clark. He is a class act and will get you a good price. The shipping will cost I'm sure but they charge 15% over cost plus shipping like eaglejackson said. Give him a shot and see what he will do?

I've found Suncoast to cost a little bit more than Sunset so I'd recommend Sunset instead. Interesting about Jeff Clark. I've always dealt with Eric Svaren but it sounds like Jeff Clark is also the man to go to too.

I've bought from both Suncoast and Sunset - I guess it might matter on freight if you're east or west. Mostly though I've bought from Sunset - Jeff Clark is my contact - outstanding customer service, always responsive to questions...and the prices are right.

Thanks for the responses and thanks Jason for catching the lack of "RS" in my post title (I edited it). I have sent an email to Sunset inquiring about the wheels.
