Need help in wheel identification

I've had my C2 for a while now, and I still can't figure out what brand these rims are that came on my car. They are 19" two piece rims. Any help is much appreciated.

Even wheels that look similar or identical can be different brands. Your wheels should have the maker's marks and part numbers on the inside. Either look there or remove a wheel and look at the information stamped on the inner wheel.

Yeah ive checked for marks and couldn't find any. I found one picture through google but it didn't give any more information. I plan on selling these wheels eventually and want to figure out what they are first haha.

Have you actually removed one and looked. If there's nothing there they are cheap knock offs. Otherwise, they are marked. And they don't look like cheap knock offs.

Looks similar to my 597R HRE wheels but mine are 3piece.

As mentioned earlier, if you can take them off it has to be written somewhere on the inside of the wheel. We have something similar in our lineup.

547R? If you remove the wheel and look at the backpad, might have some information.

I had similar wheels on my 996. There were no markings whatsoever. They are SSR knockoffs. If yours are true HRE's they should have markings on the inside. I currently have them for sale with new tires.

I'm going to look for markings today, while your rims look close the spokes are way off.

Remove and look. You'll probably have to get out the degreaser and clean the hell out of them, the insides of wheels get DIRTY. I had a similar puzzle with my Boxster that came with 19s, I eventually pulled the info off of the back and matched them up with a set being sold on Ebay.
