Are these real 993 Cup Wheels???
Hi all,
Not sure if the right place to post this question but I just bought a set of wheels off of CL for my 95 993 C2, the ad described them as: "Genuine OEM Porsche 993 Carrera Cup II Wheels Factory Rims Set in very nice condition with almost new tires. 205/50r17 255/40r17" Now I'm doubtful they are OEM as I don't see the Porsche parts number on them. Can anyone ID these wheels? Thanks in advance for the help!

Nope. U should have the offset and width of wheel stamped beside the valve.

and if u are going to keep these reps, check the offsets - make sure they are correct for a 993

Yes reliable seller. Good for you too. You know you have Miglias when you hit a mild pothole or a drain hole cover at 30 mph.
You notice a small rhytmic thumping sound afterwards, as if you have a flat spot on tire. Did I lock my brakes? No it is your Miglias, they are no longer round.. One-time-Miglia owner

I believe the dead-giveaway here would be 'Made In Italy'? Am I correct?
