I have some 17" rims and tire. Package is not my cup of tea. I'm not sure what they are worth but I would like to hear some ideas. Light scuffs and some curb time on one wheel. Good winter rims. Two tires good, other 2 could use replacing soon.
Located in Arizona unless someone REALLY wanted them shipped.
All 4 are identical in numbers. I believe they came off a Cayenne. But I have no clue. Not a rims I see a lot.
If the internet serves me correct
Bolt pattern: 5x130
Offset: 53 all around
So, if I am hearing everyone correctly. I need to get on the Volkswagon forums and sell them to someone with a Jetta or Beetle?
Not sure why the PO was so happy to have put them on the 928.
I saw the PO this weekend (after he had called for me to pick up parts he found) and he was sad to see I installed the phone dials.

They would be more practically more appropriate for another car, considering the offset is less than optimum for a 928 at the front, and the width is under what you would ideally be looking for at the rear. I like the appearance, which is probably why the PO was happy with them, but based on the less than ideal fitment, I personally would choose another aftermarket wheel (for a 928).
I read that offset value as 58mm rather than 53, making these just barely OK for 928 duty. Comparing them by weight with original forged wheels is probably not too fair; look at other aftermarket cast wheels instead.
I suggest that these would work well on almost any street-driven 928.
According to data in my Cayenne file the earlier versions of the 3.2L Vee6 version were kitted with 17 inch ET53. A squint at the pics suggests the lettering may well be ET53 with some ingrained mud or whatever making it look like ET58 strange as it may seem. It would be interesting if the OP can test to see if that lettering cleans up
Assuming ET53 that would wipe out the negative scrub radius so indeed, they will fit but as to how they work is another matter altogether. No problem going to the shops - fine for those not in a hurry.

Thanks for posting that- at least good to know my Cayenne wheel records are correct.
There is a bit of an irony with 928 front wheels in that stock sizes with correct offsets look a bit strange in that the offset required pushes the into the wheel well somewhat. Stock rim sizes with offset around ET 52 actually look much better because they visually fill the wheel well.
Those wheels are probably phenomenally strong given they were intended for a two and a half tonne Cayenne, they look superb on a 928 [IMHO] and at the ask represent excellent value for money. The down side is [in my experience] wheels with ET52 seem to tramline noticeably more and on tight twisty bends they did not seem to offer the grip of the stock wheels. Not sure why that was but I suspect in my case it was more to do with having stiffer side walls [18 inch rims] that did not flex as much perhaps causing a tendency to "bunny hop" when pushed to the limit. For day to day driving at road legal speeds I never had any issues but then I was not prepared to compromise on total performance and sold those wheels to a friend who had a 911 to whit they were well suited.
The real answer is to fit wider rims with corrrect offset but then the cost factor goes through the roof and the cost of a set of such rims new can buy you a 928 of sorts. Such wheels completely change one's perspective of handling performance.
Ironically other Cayenne wheel sizes have offsets closer to ET60. I suspect it was the base model wheels that were a compromise as they tried to hack production costs to make them "affordable Porsche's". My Cayenne Turbo S has 9x20 ET60 rims carrying 275 sections- that thing handles and goes phenomenally well despite an elephantine 2.5 tonnes of bulk.
GLWS- a real good deal for anyone working on a tight budget.
