A local wheel shop told me these rims from the 1974 Super I bought a few years ago were OEM for Porsche. With help from another forum, I learned these are rims from a company called American Eagle Wheel Corporation, which has been making aftermarket rims for decades now. Is there any way to determine their value? I'm trying to decide if I should keep them or sell them.

From what I can gather the aftermarket versions have different offset than OEM Porsche. Not the best for super beetles. But then again most aftermarket wheels stick out too far on the front of supers. Do your homework when replacing these unless you’re going back stock.

Figure about $40 in the condition they are.
Those are cast, real ones are forged.
