Wheel Identiication

Hello,

I need Id on the following part number:
944 362 116 00
These are 16" wheels. Stamp says Germany.

Are these Cup 1 wheels, and cast aluminum?

[Gawernator]

They look cool

[ibtisam.jawad]

They do. I will be going to check these out tomorrow. Hoping they are forged 16 inch wheels but I am certain they will turn out to be cast aluminum. If indeed cast, what's a good price for a set of 4? They came off of a 968 apparently.

Yeah those are regular cup wheels found standard on later 964's and 968's. If the seller tries to pass them off as the rare cup 1's don't fall for it (the 17's are the rarer and far more desirable cup 1's). Without the tires they are worth 200-400 depending on condition. 250 will get a decent set and 350 will get a damn nice set.

I generally value tires at 50-70% of the new price times the percentage left. A $100 tire with 50% tread adds $25-35 to the value in my book, depending if I like the tires or love the tires. If they are older than 5 years (check the 4 digit date code, 2607 means 26th week of 2007) don't pay a penny more for the tires than wheels without tires.

Thank you, gents. That will save me a trip :-)

They are cast but they are the lightest 16" factory wheels right after the fuchs.
The 17" cup 1's are not rare ,they made loads of them ,yes they are desirable but they are also boat anchors , it's the heaviest factory 17" wheel .
The rare ones are the 964RS magnesium cup 1's ,they look the same but are much lighter and those are in fact almost impossible to find and cost upwards of 3000$ . Also they are lighter than the regular cast cup 1's but within 300gr of the boxster wheels so still nothing special.
I would pick up the 16" cups any day instead of the 17" cup 1's .

I was hoping to get the 9x16 in the rear which won't be available in cast wheels :-( however 250 for a set of these would be a good price.

[Catamax944]

Those are also available in 9x16 but quite rare ,part number 944.362.118.01 .
You can also get the 993 cup's in 9x16 .
Lot's of info on all wheels here 944racing

250 for those is good ,if i were you i would get them .

They are being sold at $400 firm for the set. So I'd rather keep my phone dials until I can get my hands on some forged or magnesium wheels for a steal

Really think you should buy them C2 5 spokes 16" the price the seller is asking is quiet fair if those wheels are in good shape.You migth be in for a long haul waiting for forged & specially magnesium wheels which are very rare & expensive no way you'll get those for a steal even a good set of Fuchs will make a hole in your wallet.Don't forget your car is an 944NA those wheels were design for a car that has a lot more HP than yours & they did the job with no issues on the 968.So your 944 NA migth profit from such a ligth wheels.Btw looking at your garage I see you got an early 944 & those wheels are meant for a late car they are (different offset).
