Great looking car Aussie Thunder. Nice photography skills too.
Working on it. Considering all my Porsches are AWD. I have collected a couple posters. 2 Paris-Dakar 959 posters, a Cayenne/959 DNA poster, and a Pike peaks 996 Turbo poster. Need to frame them and pick where they should go.

update
Here is what is the plan, need to get them framed.

C4S with a techart body kit (we think, the previous owner had it installed), Cargraphic exhaust, and carbon fiber wheels

Actually they're multipiece wheels. The inside part that the tire surrounds, is metal, however the outer part where the spokes are is real carbon fiber.

Unfortunately no, they were also installed by the previous owner. We've tried to figure out who made them since one of them is slightly damaged (just cosmestically, caused by a tire blowout on the way back from a car event), and had no luck. If anybody knows, I would really appreciate it. I don't have pics of the back but I have seen it when we had the one off for the blowout. All we know is that they are at least several years old, and were told they cost quite a bit, somewhere between 10-14k (and the cost they said for the bodykit is pretty accurate so I am inclined to believe it)

I guess I should've clarified that when I said they were CF look, that I meant the entire wheel wasn't made from 100% CF. I'm pretty sure your wheels are carbon fiber wrapped but the core is still alloy.

They didn't have full CF wheels several years ago and even today, real cf wheels do not come multi-piece.

Why not just remove one of the wheels to inspect the backside for any markings or brand?

My fault, I misinterpreted you, I thought you were saying it wasn't real carbon fiber. You are correct, they are not all carbon fiber, just partly, I should have specified that originally. And when we had the wheels off we looked and didn't see any indication of the brand that made them on the back.
