They are likely Turbo II wheels, genuine Porsche but incorrect, same with the center caps.

OEM Wheels were the 16" Design 90 wheels as are on my car. Optional were the Turbo Cup wheels in 17". BBS, HRE and Kineses were also optional non-porsche wheels. The Design 90 wheels are actually the lightest and strongest of the bunch.

The center caps of the era have a much more 'hand painted' look to them than those currently available.

For 1990 only, the OEM Tire supplier was BF Goodrich with the Comp TA Z4. These were on my car when I bought it, which I drove up from FL on and then promptly changed them as two had delaminated internally on the trip home being 20 yrs. old and all. In keeping with originality (as much as possible), I replaced them with BF Goodrich g-Force Super Sport A/S tires which I'm really pleased with.

Cheers!
