I ended up haggling a sort of package deal, so I got the rims with tires, a pillar gauge pod from Lindsey, and a VDO boost gauge all for 410...I have no idea if this is a good deal or a bad deal, but I that's what i was willing to pay...Happy I did

If the wheels are genuine (Porsche part numbers), you stole 'em.

You don't have to take the wheels off to find out, if the are genuine there will be the size & offset stamp on each side of the valve stem.

Glad for you that they are the genuine,usually if they are in good shape & have decent tires on them asking price vary between 5 to $700.00 depending on wheel condition,so you got a good deal there. BTW everybody call them Cup II's but what they really are is (993 Cup).Are your tires 205-40-17 front & 255-40-17 rear?

new shoes

The wheels look great. I hated the look of the phone dials and I'm on my 3rd 944. This one I'm keeping and slowly making (restoring) it to new. I found a set of Cayman wheels on ebay locally that were in near perfect condition. Got'em cheap and put new BFG G-force rubber on them and now I'm happy with the outcome.
