    Could make a good track day set of wheels for my RS2, when you confirm ET (should be about 50) can you confirm the rim width. Are they all the same?

      just checked and inside the wheels it says made in italy so may be mille millga wheels?? The et is 52 . The wheels are 2x 205 and 2x 215 as my first post explains.

      Thanks

        ET is fine at 52 (3mm further out than standard RS2 wheel) but I am after wheel width, should be marked 8J or 8.5J meaning 8" or 8.5" wide rim. I will have to change tyres for RS2 anyway

                That's the PCD (pitch circle diameter) it normally is stamped in the back like the offset is

                5x112 translates to

                5 - 5studs
                112 - in mm, indicates the diameter of the circle in mm connecting the center of each hub bolt

                S2s are 5x112, RS2s are 5x130

                  Assuming these are 5x130 porsche fitment wheels then the different offset would be normal for a full set of wheels, but this is only when the 2 rear wheels are bigger (usually by 2 -2.5"). A 7.5" wide wheel with a 52 offset is a front wheel for all late porsches with ABS, wheras a 23 offset is more likely to be for an early (pre 86) car without ABS and would fit front or back. Sounds like they came from something like a 944 which would have the same wheel widths, but someone has bought a shallower offset to widen the rear.

                  No good for an RS2 I'm afraid.

                      With 5x130 they will only fit porsche, Audi RS2 (with spacers for shallow offset pair) or some early VWs (the split screen camper brigade - although I doubt the style would suit)
