Default help me identify these wheels/offsets

I am about to pick up this set of wheels from a guy a few hours away but I definitely need a little help identifying the offsets and fitment as the seller has no clue what car it came off of other than being a "2000's Porsche". He got them from a guy who wrecked his car about 6 months ago as payment for work done and now he has no use for them and I'm getting them for $650. I know thats a good deal for fikses(I believe these to be FM5's) so regardless of fitment I am going to pick them up and figure out what theyll fit on. The only thing the seller has been able to confirm is that they are 18X11 rear and 18X9 front. I tried to ask him to read the offsets on the inner wheel but he said he saw no markings. He sent one pic of each wheel but in the pic the wheel doesnt look to have any lip at all which I wouldnt expect from an 11" rear wheel. the 9" almost looks to have the same lip. Here is a pic of the 11" wheel:




Any idea where the markings are to tell the offsets on these wheels and also why the wheel has no lip for being 11"?? Thanks for any help! I have 2 911s(91 and 74 with SC flares) and i dont think theyll fit anything i own so maybe i'll pass the deal onto someone who can use them

I have been able to determine that these wheels are 18X10 rear and 18X8 front Fikse FM5s. They are 996/997 fitment non turbo. The rears are practically brand new and look amazing, the fronts have a couple nicks and scratches on them but the lips polished up nice. The centers will need more polishing and i am sending them off to be shined up.

Then they're up for sale... PM me as i'll let these go for a decent price
