What wheels are on this 2011 997?

Does anyone recognize these wheels? After selling my 2009 911 Turbo, I'm jumping back in with a 2011 PDK Turbo and its coming with these wheels.

It would help if you showed an actual picture of the wheel, side views are hard to judge.

Thank you. You nailed it. Vertini Concave. Thanks. They sent me some close up pics. I kinda wish OEM wheels were on the car but maybe I can find a set to swap on. What size tires should be on the car? I assume TPMS were transferred when the original owner changed them but I want to make sure correct diameter tires were used.

Car has 245/35r19 front and 305/30r19 rears. I assume these are acceptable sizes?

it should be 235 upfront for 305 rears. 245's need 325's in the rear. Mismatched sizes apparently screws up with the differential.

Is the 245 35 front really going to cause an issue I'd imagine it's been on the car for a while and would have shown up by now since the car has 50,000 miles

I have these wheels - Vertini Black Magic Concave 19"

A little heavier than stock - i felt the difference - but not too much

Worth it for the look without spending a few grand on HRE's in my opinion
(still have the stocks for track days)

They are solid - can run through pot holes not prob
kind of a ***** to clean otherwise great wheel in my experience

nice to see a fellow Vertini shoe wearer

The wheels I agree are growing on me. Is there anyway to know if the 245/35 front tire is causing an issue? Would there be warning lights or a log with the durametric?

best pm yumaverick (insta: kchme911). He has a lot of experience running different tire sizes. I remember seeing a post from him on the differential topic and his experiences with tolerances in rolling diameter.
