Can't find a set of used OEM 997.1 GT3 wheels, does anybody make replicas?

Title says it all. I just picked up a 2007 997.1 GT3 and the wheels are black. I'd much prefer the stock look of silver. Can't seem to find a used set for sale so my backup plan is to find a set of replicas. They will be for minimal street driving so I'm not worried about the weight, etc.. I'll relegate the black wheels for the track when I get a chance to go.

Thanks for any input!

Dell, you could try Wheel Enhancement, or even EBay.

With some minor modifications you could make these work.

Why not pick up a set of light weight 18" wheels for track work and use the heavy factory units for the street?

Where are you located? I have the stock silvers and may be interested in a trade. I am currently in the west coast?

We have a set of ForgeStar F14 that would work and should be within your budget. The wheels are brushed face with silver windows.
