It looks more like a '85 911 Turbo wastegate to me.

You guys are all wrong. That first one is a Porsche sprinkler head that CAN ALSO be used on....wait for it....a "1985" 944 turbo. My parents have one...the sprinkler head. It makes a ton of boost until the water preasure forces the spring closed. At which time it clicks back around, and sprays the other side of the lawn.

There is definately some classics on Ebay. The one that get s me is the guy that's been trying to sell the 16" phone dials for $1595 for about 6 months

It is actually a motorsport part, probably off a 962C or GT1 or GT2 race engine. All three engines used W/G just like this one. Hard to tell the size, but on most applications 2 were required.

The first set of wheels are brand new and from Ernie' in Miami. ALL of his prices are high but he sells a crap load of wheels. Factor in the tires at about 500 bucks, painted crest caps at 200 and 200 per for a brand new wheel (and PDs do look good new) and it isnt so bad, perfect for a concours car.
