What wheels are these?

I saw these on a 996TT for sale. Just curious, what type of wheels are they? I wasn't sure if they were good wheels or knock offs. They appear to be 3-piece but i'm not sure if they are genuine or not.

Do they look familiar?

They look a lot like cargraphic, but I didn't really see any on their website that look exactly like that... They also look like DPE S-20s but still not sure.

Yes Cargraphic has a mesh style wheel (which is heavy btw) and is a ten spoke design but in their website they are now selling Champion wheels which are an eight spoke design.
The wheel you displayed was 10 spoke. Not certain of the manufacturer but probably is a cast wheel.

Rec. stick with known manufacturers.

Those aren't iforgeds, look at yours the have a tottally different bow in the center hub area. And the rivets stick out on the iForged, where as the pic above they sit in.

They aren't DPE's i know that for a fact because the S20's also have a different dip in the center hub area. & DPE uses less rivets because half of them are hidden hardware from the back of the wheel:
