Those wheels are not correct for that year but that’s minor. There are 3 issues on a 1990. The first is there are no gaskets between the cylinders and the case, and they’re prone to leaking. Porsche changed the design in 1991 or 2 I forget. The second issue is the dual mass flywheel, which by this time in the cars life probably has already failed and been replaced. The final issue is the venting of gasses in the belt housing on the dual distributor. Porsche made a retro kit for this and it’s a MUST have on any early 964. As I have said before I am a huge 964 fan having owned just about every variation of n/a 964… speedster, RSA, coupes you name it. Looks like a pretty reasonable deal depending on what a PPI uncovers but not a screaming deal. Looks like a better deal than the red one. Those wheels are not correct for that year but that’s minor.
