John,
I'm afraid the said wheels are NOT original Speedlines, indeed they do not even appear to be three-piece, and they have the wrong offsets. Original 964 turbo 3,6 wheels have the following sizes and offsets: FRONT: 8 X 18 offset 52mm, REAR 10 x 18 offset 61mm. And here is a picture of an original for comparison;
Richard, if yours is a 964 turbo 3,3, and you are looking for the original wheels, then they are 17-inch with the following dimensions and offsets: FRONT: 7 X 17 offset 55mm, REAR 9 x 17 offset 55mm

I think Richard asked for a picture for a '91 Turbo, i.e the 3.3 which I thought came with the 17" Cup alloys, not the 18" Speedlines which were fitted to the '93 3.6 Turbo, so John's answer was probably a correct assumption.
Nice picture though - from your own car? Midnight blue?

Excellent - an answer at last ....and for whatever reason, I'd missed the 965 bit ( cancelled project and all that ), plus managed to ignore the fact that the original query related to 17" Cups.
As for the Pistonheads ad, the second set ( which I didn't initially show ) are split rims, but aren't the same as yours!
What do you reckon they are? I got confused by Cup wheels and the various replicas long ago - decent Fuchs seem so much simpler!

John,
the wheels in the second set appear to be 3-piece speedlines for the 993 RS.
