7.5" fronts - better for a Boxster perhaps?

I'd look closely to see if those rear wheels are truly 10" and not 9". Very confusing having two part numbers stamped on certain wheels. Given the 7.5" fronts, I'd suspect 9" rears.

The all important A or B is stamped on the inside of the wheel close to the centre hub. This identifies the actual width.

They have been for sale for a while. Seller seems nice, if the fronts were 8" I would have bought them.

7.5"/10" 993 hollows were an optional wheel on the early 3.4L 996's (as well as the 7.5" front on the Boxster along with 9" rears). There are 2 part numbers on the rear spokes but there is another stamping (not shown in the pics) which determines whether the wheel is an A or B part number.

I bought a set just like this years ago that came off of a '99 996 for $550 on ebay to serve as track wheels for my 993. The 7.5 front works just fine on the 993. They are way more plentiful than the 8" fronts that would have come originally on a 993 ordered with the Technology wheels.
