Default What wheels are these?

Hi all,

I bought my 99' 996 this past Saturday and I would like to know what wheels these are. I have yet to see them on any other Porsche I've searched for.

The rears are 285/18" and the fronts ar 225/18" S02's.

Thanks for any help!

They look like the Kinesis Supercup wheels. I have yet to see them on a 996, popular for the 993's though.

Agree, looks like Kinesis Supercup, which is a look-alike of Porsche factory RS wheel made for 993RS.
Looks Sweet on your 996. I would keep 'em.

they look more like speedline 2310's with silver finish.

if you notice the 3 piece rim bolt pieces are farther to the lip on the speedline's compared to the kinesis which there is less lip between the outter rim and the bolts.

I actually think they are the Kinesis simply because the lug holes on the my wheels are round vs oval like the SPeedline shows.

I'll be detailing the car this weekend and removing the wheels to clean them. I'll look on the back of the wheels to verify then.
