As others have mentioned the wheels are 18" Speedlines. My car came with them when new and according to the original invoice they were $4,990 extra.
Your car also appears to have the Aero Kit II spoiler and rockers as mine does - at $4399 extra [see photo].

The Speedline Alessio wheel was a generic wheel they manufactured. These wheels were drilled for many different cars. I have seen then drilled for Ferrari, Aston Martin, and BMW. They use Speedline logo bolts and all the components are Speedline parts meaning they are interchangeable with the Speedline 3.6 Turbo and 993 RS Speedline wheels that were made exclusively for Porsche. You can always tell an Alessio wheel by the elongated lug nut area, the centers are heavier than Speedlines exclusively for Porsche and the center caps are very small and almost impossible to find. jdorociak@gmail.com jim

Yes the Speedline wheels we are talking about are 3 piece meaning an inner rim, a center and an outer rim is bolted together. It is possible to change offsets, size of wheels and make them fit better than before. I do it all the time. I am currently building a set of 9.5 and 11.5 993 RS wheels for a special GT2 car in Brazil. jdorociak@gmail.com jim

Sometimes I find a cap on UK ebay, but even though it fits the centers, they do not easily snap in and usually break the plastic tabs off. I usually make center caps for the Alessio wheels I restore. They are a ton of work, but what is a guy to do. I have attached pictures of a special set of Alessio wheels that I built for a 930. I had the lug nut areas welded shut and then drilled in a traditional round hole and then removed the raised portion of the spokes and in the center where they connect to change the look of the wheel. I wanted to make the centers resemble some RUF style wheels. I think they came out well. Enjoy. Jim jdorociak@gmail.com
