Title: Porsche 997 turbo Replica Alloys
Post by: blinkers on 28 October 2010, 19:38

Hi All,

I have been trying to find a set of the 997 turbo alloys that fit directly to the Mk5 hub with 5x112 stud pattern. The only ones I could locate are these on ebay...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330469443346&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_1870wt_1169

The only problem is he wants £300.00 to ship to Cyprus and since I can't locate them anywhere else to confirm they are correct, I wonder if anyone else has seen them anywhere for sale.

The guy claims to have a shop but only has a mobile so I don't want to spend all that money to find out I need hubs.

Any help much appreciated.......

Hi Wayne,

I know that's what he says, I just wanted to know if anyone has seen them for sale elsewhere? Seems strange that I can't find them anywhere else...check the guys feedback, some bad points that makes me wonder.....?  :undecided:
