Rob,

From that angle, they look like Cargraphics.

Well it lists the wheels try this one. Looks like the site is not all the way completed.

At least you can call them and refer to the pic of the 3.4 996. Hope this helps

Since you've come into all this $$$, and you already have family up here, how about adopting me as a brother. I'll look after the new car, wrench on it for us......ah I mean you, and try not to spend to much of the money I know you'd so graciously allow me for a weekly allowance

Those are not Cargraphic. They are Roock Racing and Gemballa used these at one point as well.

The Roock Racing/Gemballa wheels' spoke tips angle slightly inwards. THe Cargraphic is straight looking more like the BBS LM spokes.

I've owned both Cargraphic and Roock Wheels. Both look awesome!

Hope that helps

Steve-

I think you may be right. The only thing that is odd is that they don't list a 993 fitment.

Default I think they are Work RPMs

Found this photo on Wheel Enhancement...they look identical to these Work RPMs:

Here's another variation of the wheels. If you look closely, they're not the same as the ones from wheel enhancement. I don't know what they are but I hope the pictures help.
