Default what wheels are these

can anyone identify these wheels. they're off of a carrera 4 but I dont know the year.

the face of the wheel looks like the ribs have got a flare/curve to them and as far as I can tell the current wheel style like this has a flat face on the ribs/spokes(whatever the right term is)

are they off of a 997?

They look like the stock 991.1 wheel, but you have a curved spoke so I think they're an aftermarket wheel, not OEM

not a 997 wheel. Looks like a carrera classic 2.
991 from 2013+ i believe. If Porsche OEM there should be a part # stamped on them.

They look like bent Carrera Classics. The OEM wheels are flat, no curve, at least on the C2s, maybe the C4s have some curvature to them?

I thought I recalled seeing them on eBay and found them (Edit: I see I was slow on my search and was beaten to the answer by the prior post!). They are made by someone called OEM Wheels Plus. They are only $705 for a new set of four, so I wouldn't expect too much quality from these.

Here is the link to the current sale as long as it lasts (narrow body in this case): http://www.ebay.com/itm/19-034-MATTE...-/271462591227
