Default Are these wheels oem?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT

I sent the seller an email and he said they are "star 90 wheels, oem porsche".
If they are oem i will buy them.

What do you guys think?

There are OEM wheels that look like that. I forget the actual designation, but I want to say "C2 turbo"...

Yes, they look like oem porsche rims, they might be replicas. Ask him about the offset of the rims. If they are oem rims you'll need to get spacers to put them on your car.

May be replicas, ask for pictures of the part number on the inside/ backside of the wheel.

They are C2 Turbo Wheels.
Good Luck!

Ditto on the part number info. Even if they are OEM they are not what I would call "very good" condition as quoted.. I have to imagine that he's showing the best wheel and I would call them 'fair condition'. The wheel behind it shows the same rash. If the price stays low, it would be worth it to refinish...if it climbs I would keep looking. Those aren't exactly light wheel by any means.

Nice avatar judson, im tempted to get those 18's you have.
I decided to stay with the c2's 17 inch, i used to have them on the n/a and really like the look. Now i just need to find a set!

The width and offset markings flanking the air valve usually mean OEM Porsche, but the P/N's are the only way to tell for sure.

These "fat spoke" versions don't show up very often and are, in fact, one of my favorite 5-spoke Porsche wheels. They just look TOUGH!
