How can you identify hollow spoke wheels?

While reviewing the paperwork on my C4S I just bought the owner has a receipt for replacing the two back rims with hollow spokes. He did this when he picked up the car (as well as having a Porsche CD player installed). I don't know why he would only have the back rims changed out. Anyway, how can I verify that the rims are hollow spoke? TIA...Bill

Metal valve stems, No ridges on back of spokes.
