They are 17'' C-2 Turbo wheels, but are they OEM or replicas?

Hard to say for sure from the pic, but OEM wheels of this age have the width and offset stamped into them, one on each side of the valve stemp hole. So these wheels should have something like a 7 on the left of the hole and a 55 on the right. On your wheels I see some markings on the wheel at around the 12:00 position so I think they are knockoffs.

They look like Mille Miglia aftermarket to me.

What do the numbers on the inside say?

That would be the easy way to see if the wheel is OEM or not, but I don't own the wheel so I can't check.

I'm fairly sure the wheels are replicas, the owner said he paid $1300 for them new which isn't nearly the arm and a leg a set of OEM ones would cost.

In my experience, OEM's have the width and offset on either side fo the valve stem (as mentioned above), have a Porsche P/N stamped inside (usually on one of the spokes), may be marked TUV as well.

They tend to be strong and bit lighter than replicas.

That said, I have that wheel in a 7.5 x 17, 65mm, OEM and it's 22-23 pounds. Kinda porky, but they look nice.

Those are after market sold by Tire Rack most likely. I have 2 sets. The OEM wheels had a rounded lip around the rim, not that sharp square lip as seen on these.

Very heavy rims, about to sell 2 sets that are like new once my new wheels arrive.

Doug751....I'm interested once you decide to sell. Any ideas how much you might want for them?

Thanks!
