Timing and luck, set of CS wheels bought
Yeess,
finally found the real thing with the correct width and offset.
Front : 8j x 16” ET60 steek 5 x 130 .
Rear : 9j x 16” ET60 steek 5 x 130 .
They also have the RDK sensors on them
They are not perfect but will look great with some cleaning and polishing.
Cheers/Peter

There seem to be more of these floating around in Europe than the U.S. Someone could go into the import/export business . . .
Not for me, though. I've got mine.

Hi Nicole,
928:s rest over the winter period in my case .
This is not to replace my 18" but I got a really good deal on the CS wheels.
(dont think the seller had a clue what they are)
I don't have any original wheels to the car with RDK sensors since before, it had after market Cup wheels when I bought it.
I see the CS wheels as collector items to hold on to for the future
Erkka, will post some pics as soon as they arrive next week.
(my father is shipping to me from south of Sweden were I bought them)

Peter, are the CS wheels with sensors cast or forged?

Couple of pics
The CS wheels now arrived and condition is better than expected.
No bad contact damages on the edges, they are however in need of polishing.
Any advice on how this is best done?
They need heavier stuff than just a wax treatment.
If that will not be enough a repaint will be done.
They seems to have been used all year around by PO judging from how they look...

The original surface is anodized - and no other treatment provides that warm sheen IMHO. If the wheels are in reasonable shape, try rubbing in a light coat of vaseline/petroleum jelly. This is quick and generally effective - I've done this to forged 'flats'.
The anodizing is frequently defaced or destroyed by the use of alkali cleaners. To 'polish out' such marks usually is the beginning of a very labour intensive process to get back to the base metal .... for the anodizing cannot be 'repaired'.
Nice wheels - try the vaseline, you may like the results.
