Those are round wheels. Teasing aside, can't say I recognize the brand.

Those are ebay specials made by USARim. $795 for the four of them.

They're close but not the same. Look at them side by side and you'll see the differences.

Agree not the same....these were on a 2008 Turbo Cab CPO car for sale at a local Porsche Dealer. It only had 5900 miles on it and I was curious to see if they were special order Porsche...The car looked extremely clean and only lasted at the dealer for 7 days. Sold before I could even find out the wheel make.

Just be wary. Just because the wheel looks really nice doesn't mean that it's up to the performance capabilities of the 911.

Agreed... That's why I was curious. I was just looking though.....you see some of us aren't as lucky as you Dan, out for a nice Sunday drive with friends.....here in Pittsburgh the best I can do right now is poke around dealer sites to get my fill of 911s and live vicariously through you. Sunday with my 911 consisted of a quick walk by to make sure the trickle charger was on!

Ah yes, I see they are different. Perhaps they are knockoffs of the Ebay specials.
