Those are Champions but I don't know the model off the top of my head. Champion makes excellent wheels and is one of the only brands that's probably an upgrade from OEM (weight, strength, etc).

You are correct sir, armed with that knowledge I found the Champion wheel
Product Code: CMS-RS128
The RS128 was specifically built for 997 and 987 owners who were looking for a stylish 20 inch wheel that has all the aesthetic benefits of a larger diameter wheel, but none of the compromises that usually come with it. It features a unique split 5-spoke design that, although fantastic looking, was primarily designed for weight savings. In fact, by removing the center portion of each spoke, we were able to remove roughly 1.5 pounds of material from each wheel, making it one of the lightest 20 inch wheels on the market at 22.5 pounds (front) and 24.6 pounds (rear). The RS128 also incorporates our beautiful diamond cut and polished outer lip for that perfect finishing touch.

Yup, I like Champion wheels - I have their RS171s on my 997 that I had polished and then clear powdercoated. Compared to the chromed RUF wheels that one of POs put on the car, I saved 10 lbs per corner switching to the Champions.

they make fantastic wheels... forged, light weight... I am selling the wheels you have on your car now but in black. Came with my car and replaced them with of course other Champion wheels!

tell me about it...these are forged light weight wheels and come with kick *** tires and center caps etc... and giving them away price wise. New this set a fortune...Have had many about to buy and then they vanish or pull back or other.

Vorsteiner wheels, love the carbon graphite with the black. Stands out more as a different color in person compared to the pictures.
