Default Help ID ing these rims please

Hello, does anyone seem to know what brand/size these rims would be?

Looking to replace one that was scuffed up on a curb and they were on the car from the previous owner.

They are 17" rims that are made special so you don't have to run any spacers on the early C4 cars.

Currently wearing Kumho Ecsta Supra 275/40-17" 98W tires all around if that may help. Really interested in replacement value for them as well.

Thank you all

Show us the "curb-rash" - it might be more advisable to maybe repair the one that's scuffed if it's not really bad and if the wheel isn't bent.

On the back-side of the wheel the casting information will likely identify the manufacturer, the size and offset information. All of that is maybe important to either replace or repair.

Where are you located?

Could very well be made by AFS Wheels but I think there are one or two other companies that make ZR-1 style wheels with the early C4 offset of 38mm. I would expect the wheel size is 17x9.5".

As mentioned, remove a wheel and check for any brand name on the inside of the spokes.
