Default Wheels - Speedline replicas?

I have a set of wheels from my 993 that I sold awhile ago. I had changed back to cup 2's and these have been sitting around.

The tires are old. I have a receipt for the wheels from Roock Automotive Atlanta which says they are Roock Competition Wheels.

Anyone heard of these before? They say made in Germany on the back and are stamped 993 RS 550.

They look to be closer to targa wheels. They do not look like speedlines.

If you want to give the Wheel Detectives a chance, you'll need to post up photographs of all of the markings on the back of the faces

@LimeyBoy They look similar to those wheels on the blue 993

@orangecurry I don't think they are Ronal. They are stamped Roock on the outside and I have the Roock receipt (from 2003)

Strange on the p/n being 993 RS 550. Does anyone know whether that means anything?

I don't think Roock make wheels. Just as Porsche don't.

This suggests Ronal made them.

Yeah, I think you're right. I think I'll clean them up and put them on the classifieds.

Last question! Does anyone have an idea of how much I should ask for these? Classified need prices and I've no idea what they are worth.
