Tomcat,
My recommendation would be to find a good set of used factory wheels. Not these reproductions. Check the used wheel and tire section on this forum and ebay.
Here is a link to factory used wheels from a reputable source.

Porsche guy who drives SL63 w/ perf pkg AND perf suspension
looks like all those are wheel shops that buy old wheels, fix them and resell. they are oem wheels. There are many like this, everyone that says remanfg is the same story. it depends of if they did a good job or not.

I have two sets of stock 18" SL55 5 spoke wheels if you're interested. One set was from a car with 21k miles and the other from 32k miles.
