Are you looking for OZ Ultraleggeras (flow formed) or OZ Superforgiattas (forged)?
8.5 X 19 and 11 X19 or 9 X 19 and 12 X 19?
Some WB 997 owners choose to run 8.5 in front and 12 in the rear.
They all fit.
I have 9 and 12 on my WB 997 GTS with ET 47 and 48 offsets.
They are 997 GT2RS size.
Tire Rack carries them new.

Front: 9 X19 ET 47 do not rub on SPASM height widebody 997.2 cars.
Front clearance can become tight at extreme steering angles or full lock, not normally encountered in street driving and probably only at parking lot speeds.
If you are lower than that ride height, you are on your own.
Rear: 12 X19 ET 48 do not rub. Rear clearance is not a problem at any reasonably lowered ride height, as far as I know.
Please let me know if you come across anyone who is selling those wheels :-) brand new ones are too pricy for me atm having just upgraded to B16 damptronics
I found mine in a Rennlist Marketplace post.
A complete set of pristine black Ultraleggeras for $1100.
They are available new from Tire Rack (look at GT2 RS sizes) for $2500 (cheaper than your B16 Damptronics).
New Michelin PS4S tires for them in 245/35/19 and 325/30/19 run $1440.
Although not forged, they are lighter than your OEM RS Spyders (despite being an inch wider F&R).
And they weigh the same as OEM GT2 RS forged wheels (in the same size).
They look pretty cool, too (and cure the terrible offset gap of the RS Spyder wheels).
Keep an eye out for them on the RL Marketplace, eBay, PCARMARKET...or post a Want To Buy (WTB) ad on RL.
Many Porsche owners change wheels like underwear, so used ones come up for sale pretty often.
Good luck with the hunt.

I never really cared for the OEM RS Spyder wheels, the polished lip just accentuated the wheel well gap.
Difficult as f*ck to clean properly, as well.
And thanks to XPel Ultra PPF.
Without it, my paint would be trashed.
I find OZ's to be a sweet spot for CL wheel owners.
Half the price of custom forged wheel from Forgeline, BBS or OEM Porsche GT wheels...and people track on them with great results.
OZ has extensive racing cred, and their flow formed wheels are actually lighter than, or comparable in weight to, Porsche forged OEM in the same size.
What's not to like?
If the styling agrees with you, really a no brainer.
This OZ advert 997.2 GT3 picture started the itch that I ended up scratching:
(This GT3 is on 20" wheels, but I think 19's look just right on a 997.)
