No affiliation, just thought some would want to know about these. how often does anyone come across a brand new in the box set of these beauties?

I'd be cautious. This really looks like a scam.

Other than the seller having only 1 feedback item...what makes you think it's a scam?

BTW...I have an interest in this auction...I'm hoping they sell for a lot. I have a set of these same wheels sitting in my attic and might think about selling them if they'd bring enough money.

These wheels have been advertised in various magazines over here in the UK.
No reason to believe it's a scam.
I imagine they haven't sold for various reasons. Firstly, they are way too expensive!! Secondly, they are extremely heavy, especially when compared with the "proper" magnesium wheels used on the GT2. Lastly, the wheels are wel known for their corrosion problems,( a lot of them were replaced under warranty by the factory for this reason). They are very expensive to refurbish once they have started to corrode. Hence, unless someone has a 993 RS without the correct wheels, people tend to think they are way too expensive to fit as an upgrade to a "standard" 993
