Easiest way to tell, for future reference!
Edit: Actually I only see the width and offset stamped on one of the wheels. Either they were refinished and someone sanded it off on the others, or its a mismatched set?

That's what I would assume too. I read a post though saying that porsche actually sourced out production of the cup 1s to different mfg, some of which didn't stamp the offsets. And you're right that during refinishing they could have been sanded off. I also read one guys post who said that a set of china knockoffs had offsets stamped on them (who knows if they're accurate). I have no way of confirming any of this, just stuff that I have read on the interwebs. I too have the severe affliction of "I don't need it but damn that's a good price" but I have found as I get older that this usually just results in a garage full of junk lol.
