Please help ID my wheels, aftermarket or OE
The photos are of the rear 9 x 17. They look like cup 2 rims but I do not see any Porsche #s, only Made in Italy. Please help. Thanks

Most definately aftermarket. The "Made in Italy" and ET15 are the indicators.
That offset is for the 74-89 911's. If they were OEM, the ET would be more like 52 or 65. Not a big deal as you can use them without spacers as opposed to the OEM which typically require 1 inch front, 2 to 3 inch rear spacers.

In my view these must be imi's (imitations or aftermarket).
1- because the lack of an Porsche partnumer 2- because low ET (off set) value rims apply to models up to the 911-3.2 and 944-I your rim matches the looks of later Porsche models that had higher ET values due to different set up of the flanges the rims are bolted to. The ET value of an original 9J-17 is 55 (millimeters). This is clearly a modern style rim with a ET value of 15 mm to fit older Porsches. In other words: after market rims meant to upgrade looks without having to use spacers... At least that would be my analysis. @ Oh Haha: I was checking onlie references while typing, and by the time I submitted my response, yours had already came in; it's getting late here already; not meant to be smart but I will leave my notes to confirm your view too !

I'll have to look at mine this evening, but look to be the same as the Mille Miglia Cup 1 Replica wheels.

Thanks guys for the quick responce. I thought they were aftermarket also, but needed the confirmation. I want to replace the wheel centers and that led to the post. Thanks again.
