If they were replicas and had Porsche part numbers that would be strange, but those are not Porsche part numbers, the Cup I's start with 964. So why is it strange that Borbet used their own part numbers? That seems like a logical thing to do for a company producing many different wheel styles.

So are these as good as Mille Miglia replicas?

Doesn't exactly strike me as a Porsche part number. Most Porsche part numbers I've seen are 11 digits long (XXX.XXX.XXX.XX). I bet it's a product number internal to Borbet. If you are going to sell them, I'd advertise them as "Borbet replicas"

Absolutely that's how I listed them.

Out of the blue, I am thinking the rims are 23mm so it is for the early offset, fits the 1986 944T.

Two sets of these wheels came with my race car and although fairly heavy, they are very good wheels. They were about 10 years old and I never had a problem with the beads sealing. When I switched over to 18" wheels I sold the wheels to a friend and they are still going strong on the track.

Correct part numbers would be 965.362.124.00 and 965.362.128.00...
