    In the last pic the front rotor is placed in towards the front of the car too. Something isn't right.

    yeah that looks very strange, I am going to say that the wheels look like photoshop.

    Simply too many...
    I'd agree the 3/4 RF shot makes the wheel look two dimensional. The others look right though.

    You can see the reflection of the other rims on the floor of the angled pic.

    As fake as they come, apart from the 'angled picture from the front' where the front wheel has absolutely no depth - take a look at the last picture, the big red brake caliper is next to the orange indicator light - in all the other pictures the brake caliper is next to the doors.

    Fake as a 3 dollar bill. Look at the reflection on the floor, different wheels than the ones that are shown. What a crook.

    I emailed the seller and asked why the picture are photo shopped..

    my guess is that he had multiple porsches for sale and somebody wanted one car with the wheels off another car or something along those lines.. not like a buyer wouldn't notice if his car showed up wtih completely different wheels!

    Cars real, but the wheels look they are made out paper.

    Look at the passenger side picture adn the driver's side picture... Didn't even swap the front and back wheels. He needs a better photochopper.
