Forks, not claws. Lobster forks.
I'm not just being a d*ck - you might get better search results for "lobster forks" instead of claws...

Check the offsets. These should be fine but some caymans have offsets that will only work on a widebody 996.

I'm sorry, but I didn't look at the images closely since I was on mobile and had trouble getting the link to work. Now that I've looked the CL wheels, you're absolutely right. Those wheels are NOT the lobster forks. However, 19" lobster forks were made in two distinct fitments: the 997 and Cayman/Boxster.
See picture of true Lobsters Forks...
There are notable differences!
