They may be, but since they were "refinished" I highly doubt that they still have the correct "S" pain applied to them.
They are just regular hollow spokes that have been repainted a I believe the only difference between "S" and non "S" is the polished look.

I don't know anything about the wheels, but I have dealt with and met the seller. Very nice and honest Porsche guy. The 997TT wheels that I recently sold came from him.

They have been listed for a while now. I don't see anything "S" with them. The paint does not seem to be the "hypersilver" turbo-s finish and the part numbers are same as standard hollowspoke. The price totally out of line. I wouldn't even pay half of the buy-it-now price. Just my 2cents..

I have an extra set of original Turbo S wheels that I'd be willing to sell at that price. I'm not actively trying to sell them, but am just putting the info out there in case. I bought a new set (over $6k w tires)because the ones that were on the car when I bought it were not in a condition consistent with the rest of the car. They need to be refinished to be perfect, which would probably cost between $1000 and $1500.
Edit: BTW, no way those are S wheels in my opinion. Plus, they don't even have the S center caps, which cost quite a bit, too.

I can check the part numbers when I go home. They are original TTS wheels, but don't know if Porsce put a different number on them due to the finish. And you can still get the center caps, but I don't think that those ebay wheels have the right finish anyway, so they wouldn't match. My extra wheels have the correct caps, since I replaced them, too.
