Those are Porsche 964 3.6 Turbo 3-piece wheels made by Speedline (if they are genuine).

They are not. These are imitation wheels made by RH Alurad.

I am sure they will as anything that fits a narrow body 996 can almost certainly fit a wide body 993. But, without knowing the offsets, there is no way to be 100% sure.

well, I did by them! I am excited and I hope they work! The info that I have is that "The back spacing from hub to inside lip is: Front - 6" Rear - 8"
Wheel Enhancement has told me I can use them on my widebody but I will lose about 1/2" of "rim dish" appearance (using my stock spacers from my 17" cups). I wonder if they would work & how they would look without using spacers? I have to thank Wheel Enhancement for consultation advice. I was honest & told them I was shopping another source, they insisted on helping me anyway (pr = x). I hope it works out ( I'll see in a week or so).
sincerely, Deano

Deano, I have the same size wheels on my America Roadster. My wheels came off a 996 cab. Not sure of your fitment but I am still trying to work mine out. My stock offset is 55mm fronts and 52mm rear with alot lot of room to spare. My rears have a 21mm spacer which is too big. I will try 15-18mm next. PM me if you need help. Here's a pic!

America,

did you have the inner lip of those wheels chromed? They look very shiny. I have been searching for a set of 3.6 turbo look wheels for my 993 cab, but if the inner lip is that shiny, I an concerned about corrosion, scratches, etc. There is a vendor on ebay that sells RH AG cup wheels that have a permineter bolt pattern in which the bolts are inset into the rim. Do you find it difficult to keep the bolt areas clean of brake dust? (I am tryign to decide between the bolts that are inset, vs the protruding bolts (i.e., the factory turbo 3.6 look).

Patentman,

I have no problem at all whatsoever keeping my stock 3-piece speedlines clean, even around the protruding bolts, I use the Zymol Wheel Clean kit and with the supplied brush it's really a piece of cake to keep clean and shiny (see following link)
