They're HRE 542s. Another similar wheel is the Rotiform TMB.

When he opened the rear decklid, it rubbed against the body of the car. Not good. Another problem with that piece is that there is no weather stripping between the front of the spoiler and the body. He said it creates a horrible whistling noise at speed. It was mounted on a brand new anniveray 996 in the showroom. He said he is going to pull it off as soon as he can find a matching stock decklid. THe techart can't be removed easily as it bolts on to the stock decklid.

Looks very cool though.
All that means is the body shop person was lazy. All of those issues could be corrected/avoided by a competent body shop.
