Whats the wheel weight off 993 wheels

Question: I'm looking to purchase (from afar) what appears to be a set of OEM turbo twist wheels that look to fit a 993 with 8x18 ET50 and 10x18 ET65 but the gent selling them cannot locate a part # on the backside. They appear to be ?hollow spoke? due to the smooth backside of the spoke-- but shouldn't there be a Porsche part number somewhere on one of the spokes? Could they be 996 wheels?

Definitely narrow body offsets described. Do you know how the seller identified the offsets? Factory wheels usually have the offset and width located adjacent to the valve stem hole on the outside wheel face

The "ET 65" was engraved as was the size. But with no part #, appears they are knock-offs. I think I'll have to pass given they are NB and knock-offs. Thanks for all the helpful info.

FYI, it is probably easier to find a true factory hollow spoke rear wheel in wide body offset than in narrow body offset. Hollow spoke fronts are the same for both and therefore more plentiful. Keep in mind there is also a 996/Boxster version with a 7.5" front width and it carries a part # starting with 993.
