What kind of wheels are these?

I am thinking about buying this car, do you know what kind of wheels are these? Are they HRE P40 or replica (Ruger Mesh etc)?

The ad says Techart wheels, but they look like HRE's.

I think they are HRE

It looks like they dip in a little more sharply around the lugs to the center center cap than the Rugers do. Based on pics on the web the Rugers slope in gently and the HRE's have a bit more relief.

But honestly without seeing them in person there is no way of telling if they are a $1500 set or a $6000 set.

since they look to be using the OEM lugs, I would say HRE P40's...

Thanks for all the help guys! The tiptronic is holding me back, if it was a PDK, I would be signing the paper as we speak.

Actually the Tiptronic Turbo's were the first 2 pedal Porsche's to be quicker then the same car with 3 pedals.
