Post Tire/wheel combo

There's a local 951 that I'm interested in that has some aftermarket
"Antera" wheels. I don't care for the the wheels at all and would
be looking for replacements ASAP if I bought the car. The tires,
however, are probably worth keeping--almost brand-new Kuhmo Exsta
(sp??) something or others... The tire sizes are 225x17 and 255x17.
I looked at the front wheels and they are about as close to the brake
calipers as I've ever seen a wheel, but they clear ok.

My questions:

1. Aside from being kind of ugly and definitely wrong for this car,
what is the general level of quality for these wheels. Funny, I've
seen them on two P-cars now--a 968 and this 951. Do they have any
resale value?

2. Are these tires worth keeping? I would assume so, but doing so
would require locating some late-offset 17" wheels. What Porsche
wheels would fit these tires? I would actually like to find some of
the "S" forged alloys as that would make the car "original," but I
think the only sizes they come in are 7 and 8x16???

TIA for any info, tips, advice.
