Easy to tell. Look at the valve stem. OEM Porsche wheels have the rim width and offset size cast on both sides of the valve stem, easily seen. Repos don't have this.

Jeff this is the low mileage black car I posted below in the DC area at Intersport. When these cars are black I have seen several things... no 968 numbers on a few, silver 968 numbers on a few. Either of these factory options?

Thanks John

Here you go:
RS820361
1 of 220 F8 Midnight blue coupes
1 of 72 F8 Midnight blue coupes with a cashmere interior
#1558 of 2,234 NA coupes (92-95)
#301 of 718 1994 NA coupes

Factory options:
F8 metallic paint in Midnight Blue
LC Partial leather seats in Cashmere
XD4 Painted crest center caps
220 Limited slip differential

A late 94 built in August of 1993 so it has all the late model years changes like the 993-stlye comfort seats and the lack of engine bay trim.

Hey there, I just stumbled on this as I just bought my late best friends 968. It's en route and Im getting so anxious. I found the car in the early 2000's but didn't have the resources to buy it. He did and we had been teasing each other about it ever since.
Would you be able to run: WP0AA296XRS820222

Thanks much

Hi Storm,

Here you go:
RS820222
1 of 220 F8 Midnight blue coupes
1 of 89 F8 Midnight blue coupes with a Classic grey interior
#1419 of 2,234 NA coupes (92-95)
#162 of 718 1994 NA coupes

Factory options:
F8 metallic paint in Midnight Blue
TT Partial leather seats in Classic grey
220 Limited slip differential
437 8-way full power seat

A late 94 built in July of 1993 so it has all the late model years changes like the 993-stlye comfort seats and the lack of engine bay trim.
Matter a fact, this coupe is the FIRST model year 1994 coupe that is not a 718 car (previous year, reVINed by Porsche). RS820221 is a 718 car.

Can you check the driver's door jam sticker for me and confirm that it reads 7/93?
Also, be sure to visit 968register.org to learn a lot more about your car. You can sign up for the register as well. It is free. And consider PCA.

Good luck. Jeff
