Default Anyone recognize these wheels?

My brother is looking at this 2007 TT.

The sales person states these are Porsche ordered wheels, which I highly doubt, does anyone recognize these wheels?

They do somewhat look like HRE as my best guess.

Test drove the car and it ran just superb!

They look like Champion wheels but could be wrong.

Most likely Champion wheels.

If all other aspects of the car meet ur requirements these wheels will be a big bonus. Champion makes some of the best wheels on the market.

Obviously they are not OEM, but they are damn nice wheels and Champion is high quality. (I have the RG5's on my 997S.)

Loved my Champion wheels, hope to buy another set. I am hard pressed to think of anyone who makes a higher quality wheel.

Dont fault the sales person. Most of them aren't enthusiasts, they are just people who are good sales people who probably went through some type of dealership internal training to learn the brand and models they carry and thats it and most dealerships don't sell aftermarket products and it doesnt help the fact that they accept the factory Porsche center cap. To us its clear they are champions by looking at them but to the untrained eye just looks like regular Porsche wheel.
