Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Need one 18x8 (front) Carerra rim in regular silver color (not polished or chrome). Must be new condition (brake dust OK). Absolutely no scratches, curb marks, dents. Mine got dented and wheel repair shop wants $200 to repair. Willing to pay $150 for pick up in SF Bay Area or shipped to SF zip 94065. No center cap, wheel lugs needed.
Here is a pic of the wheel that I'm looking for.
If interested, PM or email me

I'd say pay the $200 and be done with it..... Don't worry about getting pissed because someone sent you the wrong or damaged one.... Looks like you're only really looking to save $50.00..... maybe only $25.00 if it is to be shipped.....
That's just my .02

Exactly.
I went through this as I was looking for two fronts. I hunted for two months for 'reasonably' priced fronts to come-up on eBay, autotrader, craigslist, Rennlist, pomona swap meet, you get the picture.
Sources that have them:
LaPorsche junkyard $400 each, condition unknown
Wheel repair place back east, $375 ea. refinished (ie straightened) $35 shipping
Wheel Enhancement $500 each new
Porsche dealer ~660 each new
BTW: Looks like you swipped a photo from someone's auction on ebay:

This should have been the first indicator that your pricing was way off... Over $3,000.00 for that set of four...
-Eli
Thanks for the feedback. Sorry if this offends anyone. I was hoping someone may have an extra wheel to unload. The price is what I'm paying to be fiscally feasible.
As Eli said, good luck getting one for $150. Pay the $200 and be done with it. I have seen singles go for about 4-500 and they usually have a minor curb rash or two and they are hard to find.
FYI...I just bought a second set of wheels (just like you want...the 5 spokes) for $2.6K. And that was about the cheapest I have ever seen them. I waited prob 6 months till I found the right deal (brand new take offs, no nicks, no nothing, new rubber). $3K is about right for a set with rubber.
