Default Can anyone id these 17" wheels

I thought I had posted this thread up but must have clicked the wrong button? Oh well - here goes again. Anyone recognize these wheels? They are 17". It is an early 944 and I don't know if there are spacers involved.

They almost look like Cup Is, but I've never seen them in 17. Maybe larger replicas?

Those were an aftermarket cup "style" wheel that were available maybe 10 years ago. Use to be sold by many of the suppliers like performance products, automotion, tweeks and tire rack, etc. I recall they were available in both early (no spacers required) and late offset. Stopped making them years ago, once the closer matching Cup I and II replicas were offered.

Those are replicas.. Beyond that, I can't help. Tires are Dunlop SP Sport 8000's

They do not look like Cup I wheels to me... maybe a large replica version of the 5 spoke 968 wheels?

Yes, the cup 1s appear to have wider spokes.
