What wheels are these?
Hi all,
Spotted this car, but have no idea what wheels it is wearing.
I can tell you that they are genuine Porsche and 19".
Does anybody have an idea of what they might be?

Steve, the advert description is wrong, they're 18" 
That actually looks to be a pretty well priced and sorted S4 from the ad - I watch the ads as I'm soon to be selling my white '87 manual.
There are some 5-spoke 19" wheels - Carrera Classic's, but they've got subtly different spokes.
Those are definitely Carerra III's from a 997. (I have a set in the garage).
C III Fronts are 18x8 ET57, rears are either 18x10 ET58 or 18x11 ET51 depending on which variant of the 997 they came off. (the ones in the photo are 18x10 rears)

You guys are good! Hilton hit it exactly.
Carrera IIIs
18 x 8 ET57 Front
18 x 10 ET58 Rear
Car has some readily spotted issues:
1. Cosmetic flaws - chips and minor dents
2. remote hatch release inop
3. Hvac blower inop (works on defrost)
4. A/C inop
5. hatch lock liner missing
6. transmission kick-down inop
7. auxiliary driving lights inop
8. air-pump belt removed (probably only an issue for licensing)
9. constant RDK warning (no surprise with the wheel change)
10. idle switch inop
11. botched immobiliser install
12. sun-roof inop
13. botched aftermarket stereo install (no radio reception)
14. toolkit incomplete
15. spare tyre cover broken
16. passenger mirror electrics inop
17. interior lights inop
18. passenger front parklight intermittent
19. broken indicator repeater lenses (well, cracked at least)
I guess a PPI is in order. If I am to buy another 928, I should do the purchasing thing right for once.

Why does your car look like a 4x4? 
Yea.....factory size on there, kinda skinny. Same tires in this shot. Next round will have 255's up front and 295's in the rear:
She's coming home this winter, time to get things going with the 79. Been "put away" for far too long.

Will 295's fit ok on a early car?
