Default Help with wheel identification

So I have this wheel that came on my 02 996 C4, one of the fronts, not stock per the original owner who hit a rock and damaged the original. The other 3 wheels are the hollow turbo wheels. The original front is 18x8 and this wheel is 18x8.5. I have already replaced it with an original wheel, but would like to sell this one. My guess is it is a replica since it is made in Italy, but I am curious if any experts can help me out with what it is exactly and how much it might be worth listing it for. Thank you!

Pretty sure it's a replica ... I have a set of them I've been meaning to sell but haven't gotten around to it. The only set I've seen lately were on Craigslist and IIRC the seller was asking $300.

Yep, that's a replica. I'm guessing you won't find a 996 or 993 part number cast in it as you would with a genuine wheel.

I had a set of these on my car when I bought it. 1 front and 1 rear were slightly bent, the other 2 were good. For what it's worth, I sold that whole set for $400.
