Default SOLD: 17" Cup 3 (twist) Wheels and Tires

Mille Miglia Cup 3 twist replicas with tires and center caps.

2- 17x7.5 15mm offset w/ 205/50-17

2- 17x9 23mm offset w/ 255/40-17

These offsets are for early 944, 83-86 and 86 951 they may work on others, not sure.

Good overall condition. A few marks on the face of one wheel near lugs. Good Michelin Pilot Sport tires 90% thread left. I'd give the wheels and tires an 8.5-9 of 10 overall. Tires alone are $700 new.

E-mail me for LARGE pics if you are interested.

$900 O.B.O. including shipping to the Lower 48.

Fantastic wheels - im running a set on my 1986 944 turbo as we speak.
It makes an older car look newer whilst keeping with the Porsche theme.

Good luck with the sale.

How much does each wheel weigh?

Aren't replicas usually really heavy?

You can do a search it has been discussed before. IIRC. the fronts replicas are around 3-4 lbs heavier and the rears are about 1-2 lbs heavier than factory wheels of the similar size. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Its almost $800 worth of tires.... This is a good deal. I can't believe you still have them.

I'm off to negotiate with the wife more.....

My point was that the lack of spacers will offset the extra weight of the wheel some. Thats a good thing. Glad to see you sold them so I wasn't further tempted.
