What kind of 3-piece wheel is this..? please help!

Hi guys,

Just bought a set of these (really cheap) to refinish and put on my 996 - Carrera.

These are 18x8.5 front and 18x10 rear.

They look like RH wheels to me, yet, they have an "AMP" stamp in the back. I have tried, but cant locate anything online. My hopes are to rebuild them with larger lips.... They have 36 bolts each and I was thinking - would I be able to use any other 36 bolt lip off any other wheel (i.e. RH wheels)

Please advise!

Thanks!

Those look similiar to the old school DP wheels but IIRC, the DP spokes weren't flat all the way and had a bit of a dished flare on each spoke.

IMO, these belong on a older Porsche but there are guys putting the older Porsche side decals on along with the duck wing spoiler so I guess whatever floats your boat.
