No. The OEM wheel offset is listed on the front of the wheel, on the lip right next to the air valve in raised numbers.

Well, a lot of the pics I'm seeing are showing it like this:

This is from the backside of a Club Sport & I've never seen a Club Sport aftermarket before. All of the wheels from this place show the back of the wheel in the way I described (& seem to be stamped all over the place) & this place (LA Wheel & Tire) says they are ALL factory wheels. Here's a link to the actual auction of these wheels (the above is directly to a blow-up of the picture itself)...

James- thanks for the input, but the ones I linked to above, show everything you're describing, BUT, they ALSO appear to have the 951 part # cast into the back of one of the spokes. Are they real Porsche wheels?

17" Cups are only to go up in price. I would think that you can sell them for $800 dollars a set any day of the week. And that includes some with minor cosmetic issues. Nick and scratches can always be refnished to look new. What you need to look out for is real damage to the wheel. Once the wheel itself is bent or cracked it's all over. I am very careful regarding my cups. Wheel balancing machines are a nightmare if they clamp down on the wheel incorrectly.
Since they do not make these wheels any longer they become more rare which drives up the price for a good set.
I am currently thinking of trading my cups for a set of 18" twists and I have already been offered $800 for the cups before I said I would be interested in selling them. Just need to find a good set of twist now.

James- no, those are Club Sports in the pics. And I've never heard of anyone making aftermarket Club Sports, have you? Club Sports were also some of the only wheels Porsche made that were forged, so maybe they have dif marking??? I don't know, but when I get a chance, I'll look at mine. I have both Club Sports & Cup 2's, but neither are anywhere near here to check- the CS in storage & the Cup 2's on my car & engine is being rebuilt, so... PM on the way- thanks...

JD- Sure, FACTORY Cup 1's AND Cup 2's can go for $800 all day long, but NOT aftermarket & the ones that started this thread, appear to be aftermarket.... Aftermarket (ie replicas) are MUCH heavier & supposedly not as strong, although they loook the same from the front...

Here is what the backside of real 7.5" Cup IIs looks like. Clearly, the ones in the Ebay ad, aren't.

Robby

Jon- Those are Cup 2's, as from 993's or late 968's? I thought the offset was 55? Did they make dif offsets? Thanks for the pic!

RallyJon

7.5" Cup IIs NEVER came on 993s. 928 GTS or 968 w/M030 only. Yes, 65mm offset for the 7.5s, so you'd need a small spacer.

Consider also that they're for sale by Wicked, who are known to sell over-priced garbage...
