I bought a set about 6-9 months ago. The ones on eBay look like the same seller and gaskets. They work fine / mine ended up not needing them so I still have them in the bag for down the line when mine disintegrate.

They look awesome. It's about time, I was wondering when someone would make these as you see them on Alibaba for most newer Porsches. This is great.
