These wheels came on the '99 911 I just bought. They are 19s and look like a multipiece construction. Tire size is 235f/285r. The wheels are a 5.5-6 / 10, they have some spots on the finish, and a light bend or two.
I'm not crazy about 19s, i'd rather have a nice set of 18s, maybe some MK2 GT3 wheels or something.

What do you mean by 5.5/6?? Not the front width I hope. Bolt one to one of your wall in the garage and use it to hang the garden hose. Grab the second one and cut a piece of glass to use it as a coffee table. The third and fourth can be used as boat anchors...
Jokes aside, do a search on ebay and you'll see that they ain't worth much.

I think he means that the quality of the rim seems to be about a 5.5 or a 6 out of 10.

They could be Champions....they could also be Champion knock-offs, those seem to be plentiful as well....and I guess they could be something totally different. Are there any markings on the inside?

I'll go take one off right now and see. If they are, i figured you all would have a better idea of how much they would fetch than I would. I couldn't find any like these for sale on ebay... Also, front tire is 245 actually.

I think these just might be from eBay. I would definitely double check the markings on the inside:

I can't attest to the quality of these rims, but I can say two things: 1) I saw them in real life and thought they looked really nice 2) seems like the seller of these now has a fresh eBay registration.

They look like real multi-piece wheels, hence they MAY be Champions. Look at the interface between the center and the lip. There's a space there, which implies that it is a true multi-piece construction vs. the one-piece knock-off that you see on eBay.
I agree with you guys though... take them off for markings on the spokes.

Hey guys thanks for your help, here are some more pics. These look a lot like the ebay ones you just listed above.
I will say the valve looks different on these and the ebay ones...
The markings in the 3rd image are the only ones I found

Hmm, those letters on the rim read "RB4" maybe you're right about the older version, I'll have to look into that. Thanks again. Do you have any idea how much these would go for?

If they are eBay wheels, 500 or less (all depends on the condition). If they are Champions, why would you want to get rid of them? Champions are one of the best sets available. New set of 19" Champion RG5's is ~5k, preowned sets 2.5-3.5k.

Like others have said, if they are truly Champions, they are worth a fair amount. They look a fair amount like Champion RG5B wheels http://www.championmotorsport.com/996RG5B.htm However the bold pattern is different, so either they are an older model, or they are clones.

Are those off that blue/tan 99 aero that was up at Motorcar Investments at European Performance for a while?
What is that gap in the wheel looking between the two bolts (pic from the inside that has that RB4 stamp)?
Honestly they look like the usual knockoffs but if you want to be absolutely sure, call Champion Porsche down in Pompano Beach.
