Not thinking about buying them - just interested to know.

245s on a 7J rim? [:'(]

I would have thought you would need 8" rims for 245 minimum. Toyo shows 8-9.5 for there 245 section tyres. Odd

 
They might be from an RS2 in which case they may NOT fit a Porsche. The RS2 has a larger hub centre than Porsches and Porsche wheels need to be machined out to fit (apparently). I'm not sure about the castings on the back either. One wheel has the sizes around the valve stem but other pics show size info on the back of a spoke. I know my 18" Mille Miglia Cup 2 replicas have sizes and "made in Italy" on the back of spokes (but not by the valve stem) but I haven't really looked at my genuine Cup 1's. This could be a mixed set of replicas and genuine wheels, possibly. Anyone know who made the genuine Cups for Porsche? I'm guessing Speedline but I don't know. Are Speedline wheels made in Italy?

You're half right Slim. The RS2 came with 7" rims and 245 section Dunlop 8000 tyres specific and unique to the model. They are no longer available an in reality these tyres were approximately equivalent to a 220 section. Lots of RS2 owners blindly fit 245 section tyres (especially Dunlop 9000 as they appear to be the replacent) which are indeed far too wide for a 7" rim. I have heard of several stories of carcass failure on RS2s because the tyres are too wide. Also the inner sidewall on the front can touch the track rod end with 245s. Scary stuff...
