Ok cool! The wheels aren't painted though, I would just hate to ruin the finish on them.....??

Those are Panamera factory wheels.
I am unsure of the origin of the wheel, they were on the car when I bought it but I love them. I am not a fan of the wheels these cars originally came with. So since I've already clayed and waxed, is it too late to polish? Do I need to clay it again, polish then wax" I will go to BMW and let you know how I make out, its in the same lot as the Porsche dealer so maybe I will test drive a new one

I think those might be Carrera Classic wheels for the 997. Used on the 911 and possibly also Cayman?
Example:

Another example
Love the looks of these on the 996. I've got the "Turbo Look" on my '99 C4 and have been looking for a good replacement. After seeing the OP's car with these I am liking the simple style.

HAHA My better half made me search the country and wait for white and I am glad she did! I would have bought one a long time ago if color wasn't a factor...
