Available for auction is a set of brand new in box 1997 18" Porsche Speedline two-piece wheels. The seller states that these wheels are in brand new excellent condition and have never been mounted to a vehicle. These original 90s date-coded examples also include their original and matching date-stamped Porsche boxes.
These Porsche Speedline wheels were made for the 993 platforms including the RS and Turbo. This set of Speedlines was produced in 1997. The front wheels display the date code 1996/1997 but the outer final date code is 1997. The seller has owned this set since late 1997 and states they have been in a climate-controlled condition since then.
Casting marks including part numbers and manufacturer logos can be seen on the rear of the wheels. While best suited for narrow-body 993 and 996 models, these wheels may fit numerous vehicles. Please verify fitment on your intended application before bidding. Finding a brand new in box set of Speedlines with proper 90s date stamps is nearly impossible. Don't miss this opportunity. The buyer is responsible for shipping, handling, and transactional fees.

Thank you to all of the bidders.
They have been moved over to dealtank, and I’m happy to work with you to put a deal together.
Thank you again
@mhog @mhog. they are a great set of wheels to have waiting for the car.
In today’s Porsche market, all the big auction cars and historic cars people are pulling the wheels to check the date codes.
I am definitely one of those people and if they fall outside of the build period, I wonder why they have been changed.

Pretty soon i will Need a car for the Wheels
If this has any value to anybody, these wheels date back to when I was working with Deiter down at Andial.
It was actually his recommendation and sourcing of these wheels that were supposed to go on my early production 1995 Riviera blue twin turbo.
It’s amazing. That was almost 27 years ago.

I wanted to share the value in these speedlines versus others that have hit the market.
It’s very straightforward getting a mixed date codes set or a very recent date code set. These wheels are for a purist that wants and needs them produced during the same years that the 993 was in production.
Speedline has changed their finish over the years. There is absolutely no question, the original first few years of production wheels are the finest.
Again, you will not find a matched date code set of new in box speedlines anywhere in the world.
I am here through the end of the auction if anyone has any questions. Thank you again.
@Eggzackly I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. These have been in my collection for decades so it’s been a long time since I looked at mounting them to my 993 turbo.
If a 25 mm spacer is required, absolutely longer bolts would be required. Fortunately, they are very easy to come by at a reasonable cost.

Looking at these for a custom project, can you please measure the outer lip and inner barrel sizes on a front and rear? (can refer to instructions here: https://sensei6.com/pages/how-to-measure-outer-lip-inner-barrel-size)

I had Speedlines when I first got my car, great looking.

@Ak these have offset in the rear for a narrow body 993. Width is the same up front between NB and WB 993s. But the normal offset for rear wheels on a Turbo is ET40. So you’ll need 25mm spacers and likely longer wheel studs to get enough thread contact with lug nuts when using big spacers. They’ll fit but it’s not plug and play.
I purchased this exact set for my 97 cab. Totally transformed the look of the vehicle. I was under the impression these are three piece eheels.
@twickes40 Hello, the center caps are a completely different part number and were never included when you ordered a wheel direct from Porsche. So to answer your question, there are no center caps that come with these original date coded 1997 Speedline wheels.
@Ak the speedline RS wheel have a fractionally different offsets (ET) than the standard turbo wheel. Most people opt to use spacers regardless because the factory turbo wheels are not flush with the exterior fenders. I hope this helps clarify for you.
Are center caps included?

Thank you for your reply
I mean can I fit it into my 993 turbo like the original wheels directly without the spacers
Thanks
Bid in the amount of $2,525
@Ak Hello and thank you for reaching out. They will absolutely fit on the widebody 993 turbo. My plan was to keep the wheels and put them on my early production 1995 Riviera blue twin. From what I understand the best thing is to use some TUV approved small spacers to get them to fit exactly the way that you want.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out. Thank you.
Hi
Can be used for 993 turbo?
