New member-HELP; Porsche Classic II Wheels

[229golfer]

Hi guys,

I am a new memebr and have owned my Porsche Carrera C4S Cab launch car since April of this year.

I would like some input please...

I did not particularly like my lobster fork wheels so I found a set of 19" Porsche Classic II wheels locally. I was told by the individual that the wheels came of a 2010 C4S and are OEM original.

I bought them yesterday but after careful inspection while cleaning them this afternoon, I noticed that there is a "Made in Italy' stamp embossed inside the wheel. I got concerned so I went on line and read that OEM wheels also always have the off set size of the wheel embossed on the outside of the wheel by the stem valve - mine do not.

Can someone please tell me if I have a set of knock-offs? That is not what I wanted nor what I was told.

P.S. the vendor is a very nice guy and swears he bought them from a Porsche dealer in California as original stock.

Would really appreciate anything you guys can add...

Made in Italy? I'm going with "knock-off". I know fakes are often heavier and bend easier than the OEM wheels. Do they have the Porsche part # on them?

Yes.. They have Porsche part number embossed on the inside of the wheel as well as the triangle with a P inside of it . It also has lettering that i googled showing the patent by Porsche for the alloy construction of the wheel am thinking that they are original since Porsche makes parts everywhere nowadays and maybe the embossed wheel size on the valve stem is a thing of the past. These are 2010 wheels....any thoughts?

If someone has newer wheels, can you please check the valve stem area to see if there is a number on them?
