Hello,
Could someone help ID these wheels? They came with my '84 911 as extras, and the previous owner bought them 2nd-hand, so don't know if they are repros or originals. [17-in 'Turbo Twist' wheels marked 'CUP 3'??]

*I want to make sure I accurately label them when they go up for sale---i.e. as OEM or as REPRO wheels.

Thanks
Keith

These look like 996 or Boxter wheels? If that's what they are they are a dime a dozen. Look on e-bay to get an idea on price.

I think the factory wheels have some sort of Porsche number like 996.xxx.xxx.xx

Are the fronts like this?

Or this rear one:

The ones you have look like Italian reproduction but still very good quality, the OEM ones had the Porsche number on them.

Did these ever fit the 84 911? I think the dish offset would be very different?

pezdoctor

Thanks, Sal.
You are correct. These would likely be later ~2000 996/993/Boxster wheels.
Spacers were used to run them on an '84 --- so definitely REPROs.

If they are in perfect shape with no curb rash and decent rubber, I think around $1200-$1500 for the correct buyer?

Just curious if anyone here knows the manufacturer & year of birth (from any of the coding in the pics)?

Thanks
Keith

That round stamping with the 96 in the center looks like a possible date code. If you look at the dots around the 96 you could have 12 dots but this stamping only has 9 dots in those 12 sections.

I recall sometime in the past seeing this explained as a date coding technique, in this case it would mean 1996 and 9 dots indicate 9th month. So Sep 1996? Not sure if that makes sense? These wheels had been also on some 993 cars so I guess it's possible?

I can't recall the source that explained that round stamping but I recall it being a date stamp method.

These are turbo twist replicas made in Italy.

Stewart

That's correct - they're Italian replicas.

Definitely replicas as Porsche never made that style twist wheel in a 17" size if I remember correctly..

If I am not mistaken they are Millie Migila Cup 3's , aka turbo twists.

When I had my ur-S6, was looking for a set.

I got a set of these for winter wheels with good winter tires on them for $600 . These are very common
