Cup 1 Wheels
I have a set of CUP 1 alloy wheels, and I'm not sure if they are factory or replicas. How do I know if they are factory wheels or knockoffs? They are 7 1/2 j x 17h front and 9j x 17 h rear. I don't see any Porsche parts numbers on them. I thought if they were replicas, there would be a company name somewhere on them, but I can't find one. They have Made in Italy cast on them on the back side of the wheel, so I'm thinking they aren't factory. Anyone know how to tell what they are?

Only the original factory wheels will have the RDK sensors in them and ALL 928 Cup 1 wheels have them. I think some variation (ie. width or offset) of the Cup 1 might have been used on other P-cars and I guess they would NOT have the RDK holes and sensors, but I am not positive on that.
Agree with the above though...ALL factory Porsche parts have Porsche part numbers on them!
