Rey it is funny you say this. I sold a stock 3.6T exhaust with 1993 date stamps to a gentleman that had to have everything on his car original production period parts. It is nearly the same exhaust as the later year 930's and can be had relatively cheap used or cost well over $20k new from Porsche. i could find him most of the exhaust for around $1000 all used but he had to have the 93 date stamps on the headers and cat and Although I didn't want to sell I through out a $4500 for the three units thinking he would laugh but to my chagrin he said fine. Same thing happened when I sold my 94 turbo S flachbau tail and figured $10k would make him run. Little did I realize someone would offer me $40k for it years later. Water under the bridge.

I purchased a new set of speedlines for my turbo last year. It set me back nearly $9k. I figured mine are perfect and original so I should preserve them. It is also nice to have a set for the car to sit on in winter storage. Yet I have seen others shell out as much as $25k for a set of clean 92-93 date stamp wheels so they can say they came with the car. I don't see the need my factory original speedlines all have different date stamps within a few months of each other.

Some people are more obsessive than others. They read too much and feel that it has to be one way or another based on what others tell them.

BTW as far as original RSR wheels I guess you are correct. Some RSR is missing a set which I have sitting on a shelf. They are not 100% perfect but close and IMO aren't worth refinishing but will keep the slight patina and see what happens. I was offered $40k for them but this time I have decided to not make the same mistake again.

I can understand hollow spoke vs solid but date stamps for any thing but a pure collector car with low miles makes no sense to me.

Adam That is one collection of wheels you have there. You were kind enough to sell me one SM version of a cup I years ago at Hershey after it rolled down the hill away from you. The irony was I was looking for just the one and I couldn't find it. I recognized it from the backside as it rolled in front of me. You wanted to sell the set but were kind enough to sell just the one.
