I traded for these a while back. I am not 100% sure what kind of Porsche they belong to...my guess is probably a Boxster. Would these fit on a 911? Does anyone know if the offset is similar? I am going to put them up for sale but I would like to better identify them. What should they usually go for?

Thanks!!

Those are 18" Turbo "twist" rims. You need to check the offsets to see what car they fit; Porsche made them for both the Boxster and the narrow and widebody 911s. If they are hollow-spoke examples, they are fairly valuable; you can tell by looking at the back of the spokes, if they are smooth in the back, they are hollow. Also check for a 993. part number, there are aftermarket versions of these rims that are common (such as Mille Miglia) and they are heavier and not as valuable.

Here's pictures of the various Boxster wheels that you can use as a cross reference and pricing guide...

Shouldn't there be a width and offset stamp by the valve stems??? Maybe they are knockoffs??? Are there PAG P/N's on the backside of the rim? That would give you the size and offset.

As I recall, the offset is stamped on the inside of the rim on those rims.

They look similar to the wheels on my car:
18" "Turbo Look", as listed on my window sticker.

Good pic Kevin! that explains the lack of width and offset stamped by the valve stem.

I have the 18" Turbo Twists with colored crests on my '04 C4S - I keep looking for alternative wheels, but I can't find any I like better than these. They're just perfect for the widebody (and other) P-cars.

This is the information that the front wheels read on the back of the spokes:

Cup 3 (one 1 spoke)
Made in Italy
037 74
8.5J x 18H2
X7 S1S (in weird stamp...letters and numbers are not even lined up)

The rear ones read:

Cup 3
Made in Italy
038 74
10J x 18H2
X7 = 24 29 (again, weird stamp...letters and numers don't line up)

So are these knock offs? How much would they be worth with 2,000 miles on the Kumho Ectas? I am thinking about asking $ 800 for everything so I can make some room in garage...

Those are not knockoffs (but don't quote me 100% on that). As I just recently learned, alot of the PAG wheels are manufactured in Italy.

Hi Kevin...thanks for posting the pic. If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for those rims? I am going to put mine for sale and I don't want to price them too high or too low...thanks man!

My car was delivered with these wheels. The price of the option was $1190, which was the additional cost over the stock 17" wheel for 1999.
You might call and ask what Wheel Enhancement charges for Turbo Looks and Turbo Look lookalikes.

Cup 3 are Mille Miglia's licensed versions. I don't believe Porsche made the factory ones (Turbo or Turbo Look) in an 8.5 front either, and I'm too lazy to look. Neither the factory nor aftermarket have the sizes/offsets cast on the outside like the Turbo Look IIs. Those are not hollow spoke. Those numbers are also not Porsche part numbers which will be like 993.xxx.xxx.xx Porsche made Turbo Looks for 993s, 986s, and 996s in various sizes. Nothing in those numbers stands out to me as offset. With the right offset (i.e. narrowbody 996), they (including 10" rears) will fit practically anything with the right spacers. The 18" are probably slightly heavier than OEM. I had 17" Mille Miglia Cup 3 which were proportionally lighter and still a nice looking wheel. They aren't worth much, unfortunately. They are too heavy for track use and too common to get a high price (supply/demand). A lot go for sale for use as snow wheels competing with beat-up other stock wheels. Another good route is to sell them to 928 and 944 guys if they are in nice condition. Keep the wheel centers and try to sell them locally via something like Craig's List. Otherwise, the shipping will kill the deal. I had many deals on mine fall through once shipping was considered. $800 might be a little high unless the wheels/tires are perfect. Good luck!

TAILWAG

thanks for the info. I will probably start at $ 800 delivered and go from there. The wheels and tires are perfect. Thanks!

Yes those look like Milli Miglia Cup 3's.
