They are as previously stated Speedline Alesio. I know this for sure as I have them on my 964
8.5x18 on front and 10 x 18 on rear.
They are not genuine Porsche.
Porsche 993 RS did have a very similar wheel by Speedline but the wheel nut holes are round and not oval as in the pictures you have attached (easy way to tell originals from the Alesio's)

Thanks for all the info. (What a remarkable place this is!) It seems, then, given the responses above, these are not Porsche OEM, but Speedline Alesio. A couple of questions:

1) Given their age, size etc, are these appropriate/fitting wheels for a NB 964?
2) What is the 964 status of this particular wheel? Good? Bad? Ugly? Strong? Fitting? Light?
3) And finally, what would be a good price--if, that is, they are in very good condition, and come with with near new (95%) Michelin Pilot Sport Tires; rear 265/35 ZR18 with .265 tread depth remain; front 225/40 ZR18 with same tread depth?

I had the same Speedlines in the same sizes/specs on my C4 from the PO,except mine was bling-bling chrome. I like these, especially w/o the chrome. No issues on Eibachs and bilsteins on the lowest perch setting. Sold mine with 50% tread left for 1800.00 about 10 yrs ago. I'm guessing seller is looking for 2500.00+??

I have the speedlines on my 964 but in 17 inch. There really isn't much room in there for much more rim and tire. I would be a little scared trying for an 18 inch wheel.
