Thats because the set Nuerberger was/is selling are aluminum and the set on ebay are magnesium...
apparently they have been drilled since originally the five lug holes would be closed ,this often was done
to allow them to be run both ways,centreloc and five lug.
The center mass is considerably deeper as well,ask me how I know....Bert

Thanks for clarification. I wonder what's the weight difference per wheel between the aluminum & the magnesium ? I had hesitation because the way they engraved the product code on the inside looks a bit doggy.

The stock 993RS wheels are

8x18 993.362.136.81 ET52 25.00#
10x18 993.362.140.81 ET65 26.50#

Those sure do look different from mine

... Don't magnesium wheels have problems with degradation and becoming 'brittle' as they age?

These are drilled magnesium wheels. I don’t know how he comes to the idea that they are 8x18 ET52 and 10x18 ET65. The Supercup Central locking are 8,5 X18 ET53 10x18 ET60

You can tell from the backsides of the centers. Different than regular Speedline RS wheels.

Look like Tramont Cup's to me, which don't have the scooped out rear side of the spokes.
Compare: left is a Tramont 10x18 ET59, right is a pic from the ad.
Good wheels and a dead ringer for Speedlines.

AFAIK
Cup Mg center Speedlines are
centerlocks(which could be drilled out for 5 lug use)
8.5 ET 52
10 ET61

Those look to be magnesium center lock 993 RS centers that as Bert says have been drilled to 5 x 130 pattern. Bert and I know all about this since I have refinished two sets for him. jdorociak@gmail.com jim

10x18 ET60 993 362 140 80

The 8x18 ET52 10x18 ET61 hat the 964 Turbo Speedline. I have a set central lock (not complete) two inners rings are missing from the rears. And on the outer rings they are markes as I said 8.5 ET53 and 10 ET60 and it is also listed im my books with these ET.
