Thanks for the feedback. I did not know specs were given. Did I miss that somewhere?
They look very good although I am not quite decided between RH (sort of cup speedline style wheels) at $1600 for a set and something like these. This looks like a pretty decent price.
Is there a standard offset for a 18" wheel to be used on a 97 993? Mine isn't lowered, at least not yet!
They are not Miro's which only come in 19", so probably not as heavy as Miro wheels, I heard they are pretty heavy.

Be very careful with this company- I think they opperate under several names on ebay. The other main name is oem4less. if you check phone #s etc it all leads to http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/19-PO...10168573QQrdZ1

And I had nothing but problems with the owner named Andy. Straight out dishonest and
unprofessional.

For anyone that might be interested, I have a set of Champion motorsport rg5 wheels in widebody offsets, which ARE real 3 piece wheels, for sale in classifieds... They look very similar to these highline wheels.

Not particularly light, but very nice quality. More details in the ad

Thanks,
Pete

Cool If its too good to be true, it ain't true!

They look to be 3 piece look alike wheels....easy to buy, tough to sell. I would only by Porsche wheels, Fikse and Kinesis. They are NOT that easy to buy, BUT they are easy to sell, without taking a bath. I bought and sold a set of Mille Miglias...easy to buy, about $750 a set, took nearly a 30% bath to sell them.
