Default Are these rims genuine OEM ?

My new-to me 993 S2 unfortunately came with chrome 16" wheels. Wanted to upgrade to OEM 17" Cup2 wheels and just purchased these locally. They came off of a 1995 993 and were advertised as genuine. I thought that imprints of Porsche part numbers were a good sign, but the Italy stamps on the rear wheels tells me I've been duped. Were ALL factory wheels made in Germany? Here are a few snapshots:

Speedline manufactured wheels for Porsche and many other vendors they are located in Italy , I would assess those to be genuine ..Bert

Default They are genuine

They are genuine. Aftermarket wheels do not have Porsche part numbers or the width and offset numbers by the valve stems.

Thumbs up

Phew! Thank you all so much for the fast replies. Tomorrow I'll tackle the bits of curb rash to pretty them up a bit then mount 'em.

The 993 cup2 wheels are a thing of beauty!

I have multiple sets of Cup II's. I agree, your wheels are real. You can tell as described in the paragraph above.

The triangle "P" casting mark is a dead giveaway that they are Porsche supplied wheels.
End of story.
