They look like Cup 3 wheels. You definitely can get replicas in the UK - try BR Motorsport, or Elite Auto Design. I believe a French company called 'Caracture' also does them. However, the replicas are not as 'sharp' as the real wheels, and you will notice a difference. I had some for my Mk IV Golf which I sent back as I was disappointed. Turned out the photo in the advert was genuine wheels...
They do come up for sale at quite reasonable prices at the Porsche swap meets - a friend had a set for £650. You will need adapters to fit them though...

I would be looking specifically for the Turbo Look II wheel, not the Cup 3 wheels which are a Turbo Twist 993 Wheel. The Turbo Look II is a 996 wheel.

Ideas on where I can get this 996 wheel, NOT the Turbo Twist 993 wheel which is very common :)

Thanks!!

@s8n

The 996 turbo/GT2 wheel is not available as a replica.

What you need are four 996 turbo front wheels,8x18in ET50,the GT2 wheels are 8.8in wide and are a different offset and wont fit,they will stick out past the arch when used with the adaptors.

You emailed me before and I sent you pics of my car with these wheels on.
Unfortuneatly,there is no cheap way of doing this......exclusivity costs.. 8)
