Well as I said when I introduce to this forum I bought new to me a 997.1 C4S, with very low mileage, I had the car for about 7 months and I never had the opportunity to take it to the road and go on high speeds, well this vacations I took my car and driving 160kph (100ph) I heard a vibration like coming from the rear tires I said I could be balance and It wasn't surprise because the car was parked with the original owner for long periods, as I know sometimes tires get square and after a while driving sometimes they get perfectly round, well I arrived at home again afterany days of a nice vacation, and just today I took the car to the shop to do balance, when balancing the right rear tire took .5 and the mechanic told me to turn the tire a little soo will need less weight, I said that is a good idea, so finally that wheel and tire result perfect, the the left rear and that was the problem the wheel is squared as a block, wow I see it and I could not believed how in hell it didn't felt so much more, same story on the front left, I can images that my car went into a big hole where left wheels where damage, so now I am into this thing on trying to find just 2 wheel Carrera classics on 19 front and rear, if any out there is willing to sell 2 wheel on good price, in perfect conditions.

The other idea is buying new wheel no OEM with another style roger mesh, or something not forged because they are expensive, what so you recommend me to do? I received ideas and I can do offers.

Thanks for reading

I've seen some really good price on OEM Porsche wheels/tires combo in the classifieds. Sinner is selling his avant garde wheels/tires for cheap. Sorry to hear and good luck finding wheels and tires.

I have always wanted the classic fusch wheels maybe now is the time, and it happened for something.

If you buy an used car is always a gamble, you may never know exactly what happened to the car, in this case is rare, this 2 wheels, but the rear one is exaggerated the way is squared, in another car it would be impossible not to notice, maybe the weight on the back makes this 911 very strong and forgiving on vibrations is almost 1 cmd bent, not just on the side is like all the wheel in one point is squashed that is the word, the tire is in perfect condition all 4 tires are originals so i may say is rare!!

Thanks to all of you, I took the wheels to a special wheel reparation shop that they recommend me, and when they see it they told me it wasn't that bad and they have an easy reparation without security issues, that was my first concern, but said that, I had no problem at all, the price on the reparation was simply ridiculous comparing on buying 2 wheels.

I would keep my eyes open and found a used set on here or the other forums and replace the two rims.
