Default 2000 996 wheels, original or aftermarket

The owner of this car says these are the original wheels that he ordered special when he originally bought the car. I'm not familiar with this wheel, does anyone know whether these are original or aftermarket?
Thanks for your help!

18" Sport Design, can't tell you if they're OEM by looking at them (you should check the back for a BBS logo) but they are an OEM design:

Any more photos of them on your car? I just bought a set of those this winter for my silver 2000 and am itching to put them on once the salt is off the roads. I was a little concerned of the fit since they were originally on a 2004 but it looks like I should be in good shape.

Some say they are harder to clean, but they look GREAT on your Porsche.

Unfortunately this is not my car (yet). I'm second in line to see it and if the first potential buyer buys it I won't even go and take a look. I'm waiting for a call from the owner after the first person looks at it later this morning. I'm hoping the first guy passes............. IF I do get the car I'll certainly post a bunch of photos of it. Thanks again for everyone's help !

Close but note quite. They are 18 Sport Design. GT3 wheels look different enough not to be confused with these.

Good looking wheel. Look identical to what came on the 996.1 GT3, but the front wheels are 1" more narrow.
