Can anyone tell me whether these are OEM Porsche alloys? Apparently they are diamond cut.

The guy selling the car tell me they are not the originals (its an early 997), but are they Porsche?



Any thoughts appreciated.

Thank you,

Richard

Yeah, just stumbled upon the same website, I think.

I would have thought, therefore, that the original wheels would be better? Apparently they are in the previous owners possession.

How would you tell the difference, do you think?

Apart from a receipt, of course.

Markings on the inside of the wheel, perhaps?

It's not an entirely stupid question; I understand these are not the original wheels, but are they Porsche replacements or other makers aftermarkets? I have just got into the wife's Cayenne and they look the same.

I am trying to work out whether these are a bargaining point…
