On ebay, this is the link.

I hope they don't suck, and one of us gets them.

One of the fronts is curbed up pretty good, the other front has a few dings.
I wonder how evenly the tires are worn / how good his front end alignment was?

I contacted the owner of these wheels and see some inconsistancies.
First he states that they are genuine "Porsche" 928 wheels. But to my
knowledge all of the Cup 1 wheels for a 928 were RDK wheels......which
the seller says these wheels do not have the RDK sensors. And I seem to
remember that Chuck Z found that even the early '94 GTSs which had these Cup 1 wheels had functioning RDK......only when the Cup 2 wheel was introduced was RDK gone.
So.....did Porsche actually make a non-RDK Cup 1 wheel for a 928?? Maybe the sensor holes have been filled. But I would tend to think that these
would really be replica wheels.
BTW......the seller is Mr. John Depietro.........yes the same gentleman that started the infamous "300 ZX Twin Turbo is better" thread on another board.....

That's too bad to find out the seller is "that guy".
Did the 928 original wheels have a 993......... part number? Is there any way that is the reason for no RDK? Did 993s ever come with 65mm offset front wheels?
WWJBS?

If they are replicas, they do not appear to be Mille Miglia. The ebay wheels have width & offset cast in near the valve stem. The Mille Miglia wheels have different markings:
