the old 911 shape seems even more muted with 992. Lotta panamera look in the side view here. Seems like the beltline got higher. Surely quite capable but it looks a bit bloated even compared to 991.x
Looks different. First giveaway is how the larger "rectangle" makes a loop at the edge of the rim where that same rectangle joins the edge of the rim in the OP's picture. Also, the small triangle next to the large rectangle looks larger on the Porsche OEM wheel. The wheel in the OP's picture kind of looks like an HRE design but checked their website and didn't see anything like it. So....could be anything.
They look familiar and slightly different at the same time. Any guesses ?
These are knockoff BBS CHR. Which are available for the 997.2 pattern, but not the right widths. The real ones are insanely overweight, too - 28lbs for 19x12.

My bad for not being clear about which wheels. I prefer the new 911 wheels in the original post.
HRE P40s (shown below) also have some of these elements.
The HRE's pictured above are actually the FF01's which share the same styling but are of FlowForm construction rather than being custom forged like the P40's. Below is picture of the P40SC.
In regards to the wheels seen on the first photo, its likely a wheel that Porsche just built and slapped onto the test mule. More times than not the wheels you see on the test cars do not make it to production. The overall style of the wheel is what we call a "mesh" style. It's very common and I could provide you with options from the various brands we carry that look similar to it.
