OEM 997.1 GT3 Wheels

I have a set of black wheels, no tires. Front left is buckled but repairable.

What are they worth?

$100 but I will give you $120!

Sorry - I would check with suncoast and go from there. Btw, I would get the wheel fixed before selling.

This is what Porsche MSRP is:

Fronts for 3742.88
Rears go for 3090.54

Also, that is for the silver wheels 997.1 GT3 sizes.

Those prices are per pair, right?

Yes that is for the pair.

Otherwise that would be one expensive set of wheels!

Porsche in San Jose quotes me $2700 for one wheel... and another $650 for a tire fitted. Ripping me off now wont make me spend another $100k plus with them in the future. Easy business logic in my mind.

I can get the warped wheel fixed, there is no visible damage to the wheel or rim... if I did would it be track worthy?

I have a set of HREs on order but may keep the OEMs for track days

I knocked a 3" long chunk out of my OEM wheel's lip. The tire still held air, but the track officials said "no way" would they let me continue like that. The wheel repair guy said he'd generate so much heat building up a replacement weld that it would ruin the heat treatment of the entire wheel. I guess I'll have to throw the wheel away --all $2000 of it.

No more track days for me on the OEM wheels. I got a set of forged BBS. I'll use the OEM wheels for everyday if and when I find a replacement wheel. If you're interested in selling your right front wheel, please send me a private message.
