I planto sell what I believe are replica Cup 1 wheels that I have just removed from my car. I assumed that they were Mille Miglia reps but they do not seem to fit with descriptions I have read on other threads. They have the offset stamped by the valve hole and the Porsche part number on the rear of one of the spokes. They are 7 x 17 ET55 and 9 x 17 ET55. Can anyone help identify them from the following picture? Unfortunately, I do not have a picture of the rear on me at the moment but I remember that they do say "made in Italy" on the back.



Any help gratefully received!

It was my understanding that the only way to tell them apart is on a scale.

The real deal is about 17# and copies are 20#

BTW how much do you want for them?

Those appear to be OE factory wheels.

Your part #s may vary, but the width & offset stamping by the valve stem hole, the cast-in factory part numbers, and the 'made in Italy' all indicate they are the original factory wheels.

Hmmm, the previous owner seemed to think they were replicas but, from memory, the rears look exactly the same as those in the link so perhaps they are OEM. I will check later and try to weigh them also. Thanks so much for the help.

Regards price, I am not too sure to be honest, I was planning to put them on ebay to let the market decide!

The real deal does not if I am mistaken have the offset stamped, but cast.

It appears I have OEM Cup 1' after all! All offsets are cast and markings on the rear of the wheels are as per the link in Ken's reply - if only I had known before I went and bought another set! Still, I guess it makes them a fair bit more valuable. Thanks for all the help.
