Do you mean a 1997 C4S?

These were never offered on the later cars.

Are these knock-offs, the ones Tire Rack used to sell until a few years ago? Porsche never made an 8.5" front in this design as far as I know. Hollow spoke or solid - need a photo of the back. Offsets? Would be stamped into the backs of the wheels.

There were turbo twists for the 996 as well...they have a 996 part number and the spokes are not as rounded as the 993 version.

These look like 993 solid spokes. It would be nice for the OP to get pics of the inside with part numbers.

Not OEM 993 solid or hollows. Aftermarket.

Agree they look like 993 wheels but curious why you thought they were solids from just shots of the front. Didn't know one could tell from the front.

Rubber valve stem. On the 993 hollow spoke it is a metal valve stem that is put through from the inside and has a nut on the outside, along with a rubber washer in the assembly.

I concur with Dave Morris....aftermarket. These don't look like my factory solid spokes (missing the ribs on the back of each arm) and don't look like my factory turbo hollows (almost flat across the entire back of the wheel to where it joins the rim).
