The forged wheels for the 928s were 8" on front on and 9" on the back. I'm not sure those are really that size. I am not sure that others had the correct offsets. Thus, the handling may suffer rather dramatically.

The wheels in this thread are 7.5 by 16, ET65. They are Porsche wheels. They have a part number cast inside them starting with 928. I couldn't get the seller to show me whether or not they had the RDK sensors in them or not. All he would say was his car did not come with that pressure system. But then, neither did the car come with these wheels. They were listed on eBay for $550 plus $120 S&H, but that listing ended. I haven't checked for a new listing at $500.

And someone else is correct - - these wheels are cast and not forged. The similar looking forged wheels also being discussed here are Club Sport wheels.

Ah, that could, and if it's the case, I didn't read carefully. They looked CS wheels so, I just assumed they were...

Superock, yes, those are the good ****

They are fronts off a 944 Turbo and they are forged, unlike the wheels shown by the OP. Your 928 will handle just great on those (despite losing a half inch with a 7J width), better than many on here with the front wheels too outboard due to wrong offset. If you want to continue with that set, you might want to put a 25-30mm hubcentric spacer on the rear, as much for looks as the benefit of wider rear track.

Keep your eyes peeled for some 9J forged rears and you'll have a perfect set. Or take it to the next level as I did, and find 2 full sets and fit the rears only for 9J ET60 all round

Wow cool Hopwood thx for the info- I did put a spacer on the back when i put them on so it's good to know It's ready when I get finished with everything.
Currently have the whole interior out fixing Dash and Pod and switching from Brown to Black.
Lots of work !

The wheels pictured separately are cast Design 90's. The Wheels pictured on the car are forged Club Sports.
The easy way to tell is the cast wheels have a step where the center meets the rim.
