And... since I have a very small investment in this car and may be trying to make some money on it's parts if I decide the body work will be too much, what would a set of these wheels be worth?

is there a casting mark like a stylized fox?
'Fuchs' is 'fox' in German, and the fox is their hallmark. 'P' in a triangle is also a Porsche hallmark. |

What Aaron said.
Probably the original wheels for that car. |

I figured they probably were, it still has the collapsable spare too! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif)

There will be a Porsche Part Number stamped into the backside of one of the spokes (along with a date code mo/yr). Early wheels will start 901 and later wheels will start 911.
You can see it on the left hand spoke in the image you posted. |
