any stock wheels ?

rbinck · 03-30-2008, 04:12 PM

anyone know where I might get a stock '08 five spoke wheel? It snowed 8" last night, and I boogered up a wheel gettin' over the fog line. It still rolls, no emergency, I'll be curious to see what SOA wants for 1.

I bet $300+.

I'm eventually looking for a set too.. just for winter.

most ppl sell their stockers when they get new wheels...i would just keep a look out in the part-out forums or classifieds...the regional forums help out too...some ppl prefer pick-up only so you might have a better chance there

Slightly OT, but whats the 'fog line'?
Bad luck on the wheel, but from the looks of things there's going to be a bunch available, so many folks changing wheels on 08's

the fog line-the white line on the right edge of the road.

Why do I keep reading this? If the foglights are a $400 option, you are paying $1600 for 20lb 18" BBS rims. I don't think this is a lot. Yes, you can get lighter wheels, but they are more money from what I've seen. BBS makes nice, strong rims. I have had several sets on several cars and I never managed to break any, even after a serious off-road excursion in a 911...

You're paying $1600 for the BBS wheels and giving your stockers away for free. Assuming the stockers cost about $300 a piece, it's not such a good deal IMO.

Ahh, good point. I never considered it that way.
